Default HPI Mini Trophy Truck or 4WD Slash?

Personally I dont like the look of the 4wd Slash but that Mini Trophy Truck looks like
a direct alternative to the Tamiya F150 that I destroyed....The tires are even the same size.
I thought about it long enough and Thought a Poll on RCU will make all this go away.
Im gonna let you people decide for me. I wanna run 4WD MOD CORR this summer.
But Im only getting one of these. They should allow me to run the HPI Mini with the 4wd Corr Trucks.
I need to know how durable the HPI Mini is and is it comeptitve since it's brushless ready out
of the box and it has a complete roll cage on it, seems like a good value for the money,
I thought about putting my 6.5 GTB system in the truck since I kept the electrics outa my B44.
I have also noticed I have MIP CVD's left over from my RS4 MT that should fit the Mini.
But the B44 is gone as I traded it on RCU for an SC10. So I know Im running 2wd, what about 4wd also?

as much as I like how the mini trophy looks I have to vote slash for parts availability.
My LHS had a mini trophy in for repair for 2 weeks(when I saw it on their shelf no idea how long after that) a few months back due to not being able to get parts. (They ordered them straight from HPI...)
If the last few HPI's released in the US are anything to go by for parts availability for the trophy won't get better unless it becomes a huge seller.
