I had an academy sb pro V1, and it was solid. People used to have problems with the outdrives failing on them, but I just used a brass collar on the outdrives and never had a single problem. I was running a Feigao 540 6S on 2s with great success. My main gripe about academy is with their parts support options. There are very few stores that carry academy (only MRC and Stormer that I know of), and almost no aftermarket parts to speak of (save for the diggity designs stuff).
