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.

Let's compare apples to apples. The 80A "Manufacturers version" doesn't have the same specs as the SP Esc and it doesn't come with the LCD programer. I'd rather spend some extra money and not have to deal with sending repairs to China and I "feel" better knowing I'm dealing with a US dealer who will take care of warranties. With that said, the SP Esc is a better bang for your buck in my book. If you want to roll the dice and deal with China, bye all means have at it.
