Default Sky Fly 2 vs Aerobird 3

I'm looking for a first rc plane and could use some recommendations to assist me in choosing a good electric rtf plane in the $100 range. I want something that I can fly around an area the size of football or baseball field under low or no wind conditions.I'm not really interested in doing aerobatics but instead fairly level flight with enough turning to keep the plane well within radio and visual range. A plane that can do some engine-off gliding without going out of control or crashing would be a plus for stretching out flight time. Finally, I definitely need a plane that is well put together and that can withstand some fairlytypical beginner type (crash) landings without sustaining serious damage. I like the looks of the Sky Fly 2 and the Aerobird 3 and have read some good things about each as a first rc plane. I would appreciate any recommendations about these 2 planes, or aboutsome other plane in my price range that I have not considered, from rcpilots who already are up and flying.
