with your last statement you have just graduated from newb to ensign! You do get what you pay for and that is in everything in this hobby. Having that realization is going to be cemented in when you run that engine! I have the 61FX and I bought it cause it is a much higher quality engine and better made. I have been a Webra Speed fan for years and those ABC motors are great. Pay allot more for them but they run hard, fast and I have never worn one out yet. I bought the FX series because it has the same quality and craftsmanship that should perform and last like the Webra's had.

Don't skimp on any thing and your planes will stay in the air unless you crash them.
