A couple things to think about:

1) You won't be able to update the firmware on the MM because as of 1.26 (I think), the MM won't arm on any more than 3s anymore. So, if you are happy with the current FW, I guess this is a non-issue.

2) That setup works well for most people, but it also depends on what you plan to do with it? Racing? Bashing? High-speed (>40mph) runs? If you are going to be running in rough conditions (high speed, grass, lots of heavy stop-n-go), I would go with 5s on the MMM/2200 combo.

If you plan on ever running 6s, you might want to look at Castle's 1717 motor if you want overpowered (and assuming it will fit-might be a tight squeeze with limited gearing options). It's going for ~$70 right now at Castle's clearance sale.
