Yeah,oople.com is great,you get a very in depth look at the cars.
The zx-5 would seem the logical choice,right price range,can use stick packs and can convert to the BJ4 layout later if you get more serious and want to run saddle packs.
Also worth a mention is the dark impact with a few upgrades,that gives you the benefit of the enclosed shaft drive aswell as the transverse motor for mod or BL motors.
I don't think it will be $470... I have heard around $300... but we will have to see. If it's only $30 less than a B4 then they would not have made it imo.
HB has done this before... they copied the Kyosho 1/8... you could buy it for way less than the Kyosho.

thanks rc but that was a associated buggy review i think b4 not xxx-4 but thanks anyway.
The pictures were of the Associated b4, but they actually talk about the XXX-4 as well in the review. I see you are not really considering it anymore... but I thought that you may want to see it.
