Default First Heli, which KIT?

Ok, so I have navigated RC Nitro boats, driven RC Electric cars, and flown both electric and nitro RC planes. I think it is time to try the next RC hobby, helicopters.

I am an avid kit builder. I love building the cars, boats and planes from a box of small parts. The more parts the better!

I have read through many posts comparing axial, FP and CP designs, and which I should start with.

Esky vs. E-flite vs. Align.

So, since money is not a huge issue (I don't mind paying for quality and paying a bit to fix my crashes, but I don't care to flush money down the toilet either) what should I get?

I really want something I can assemble, so I don't think the Blade 400 would be my choice, but it does appear to be a good value. The Honey Bees seem nice, but I think I will outgrow them and then that is some money wasted.

The Trex looks good, but all of them are 80% pre-built from what I can tell. That is better than the RTF ones I mentioned before though.

So is there any good electric KITS (less than 50% pre-built) out there?
