I was once a heli flyer too. . . I had a Shuttle Z back about a year ago. I still got my FF6 with me....
MT is certainly too fun to let go. Little maintainace, big time of fun, especially you got one bunch of kaki to bash around with.
Problem with the SSK is that the parts tend to break easily, esp around the front arm. My friend owned one before and it could not take the high jumping and bashing we were giving to our 1/8 trucks.
