Are you under duress!? 
Modelfllight are a mixed bag with me at the moment, Some of their prices, especially rx's are an outright ripoff (AR600 should be closer to $50 than $70 and they'd still make a profit). The service is up and down, They turned my faulty spektrum module around in under a week a while back which was good but they received 3 rx's of mine via express post on Tuesday and still haven't acknowledged receiving them... If they're going to charge a premium price, I expect premium service. There will be hell to pay if they haven't returned them in time for the instructors course next week
As for the Habu, we've been watching it for a while but it has a major showstopper:
80mm fan
They've basically middle fingered any modelers that want to drop their own better performing setup in to the airframe just so they can make a quick buck by having the monopoly on the form factor. It was actually on my short list till I saw that caveat.
