Default Need advice!

I want to buy another heli and so I can't decide between two. Which heli is better, the Feda or the Esky Honey Bee and why?
Which one is more responsive and durable and won't brake too often? Which one can get the best upgrades?
Help if you can!

I own 2 E_Skys and a Hummingbird:

I like my E_Skys but I wouldn't necessarily recommend them. They are not generally part compatible with the Dragonfly or Hummingbird: the servo placement is backwards. You cannot move the battery as far forward either. This makes getting the CoG right damn near impossible if you add a DD tail motor.

The Hummingbird has a great airframe but as for their electronics... I had to send the 3 in board back to Century. I have the E_Sky 4 in 1 box in my Hummingbird now.

id go humming bird also. I would recomend going seperates with heading hold gyr....itll make flying alot better. I also have a stock jabo with 4-in-1 board and its ok too. I upgraded my jabo with seperates and with my left over spare parts I put a stock jabo back together......yea I had alot of parts.....So now I have a jabba and a jabo. jabo is a hb clone....just cheaper but it does have 4-in-1 witch makes it lighter.

I went to www.centuryheli.com and found 2 hummingbirds. Which one is better? Do you know a website where they sell complete kits?Can you guys tell me more about the hummingbird? I was wondering if there are any upgrades for the hummingbird.
