RE: Matrix vs. Hyper 7 Black
I think the Ofna will be pretty hard to beat. Seems like Ofna makes pretty good stuff with good parts support. I do think CEN makes a decent buggy too though. If parts are abundant for the Ofna at your LHS, then its a no brainer to me. It just makes more sense to be able to get what you need right when you need it than to have to wait forever.
Good luck with whatever you get.
