Default New ESC Hobbywing vs Orca

I have a TRF419 with Futaba radio gear, Hobbywing motor and Orca battery. Now its time to choose an esc to complete my build. I will be running 21.5t and 13.5t blinky although I wouldn't mind having boost/turbo. I have been running Hobbywing Justock esc's in the past but I feel like I want a more modern and advanced esc.

Option 1
Orca VX3 with programming card $245
Pros: removeable receiver wire, full aluminum case, more powerful

Option 2
Hobbywing Stock Spec V3.1 with programming card $185
Pros: inboard switch, smaller capacitor bank, cheaper

What are your experiences with these esc's?
