Default Vortex 4.5

Hi, I'm very tempted by the new vortex 4.5 to run with my new LRP sphere TC, but can anyone confirm how these run in comparison next to LRP's or Novak’s latest offering - I'm nervous that this is Orion’s first attempt at a Brushless motor (discounting the original Vortex ) It's taken LRP and Novak two versions to provide a reliable motor! Also it looks in some of the pics that this motor has a built in fan, but again I can't find any specs listed for these motors. Why hasn’t Orion published full motor spec, RPM, Watt, Efficiency etc...?
Finally if this motor has got a built in fan, does this mean it's more open (vented) than the more traditional design (LRP,Novak) - will this require more maintenance/cleaning.

Cheers
