I've owned MANY ESC's including the Novak HV, MMM and the Speed Passion ESC's.
The Speed Passion is my favorite so far. This Esc is provided by a US distributor so you do NOT have to send it to China for repairs. It comes with a hand held program module with LCD display and can be programed and updated via the PC just like the MMM or the RX8. The SP Esc handles 4S like nobodies business and will run sensored OR sensorless motors.
My 2 cents... the Speed Passion Esc has more features than any other Esc on the market today so it's the best bang for your buck for 4S racing.

The best bang for your buck would be the manufacturers version, the Hobbywing 80A 4S, so basically you just wasted some $$$, but it's your money. The 150A 6S version is another option and it still is cheaper then the Speed Passion branded 4S only ESC. The RX8, MMM and the Hobbywing 150A 6S will also handle 4S lipos. Now the repair thing, even though Speed Pasion is distributed in the US and like you said the ESC doesn't need to be sent to China by the consumer, but all the defective ESC still goes back to China for repair or replacement.
