Default M05 Abarth Asseto Corse question

Can anybody tell me if this kit comes with bearings, and whether the shell will fit a Xevo chassis? I'm undecided whether to use the M03M Swift or the M05 Abarth as a donor car.

The Swift is attractive as I've been told it comes with bearings and the Swift shell will fit the Xevo chassis according to rc-mini.net, plus I can use the leftovers as spares for my beater M03 SWB Cooper. Plus, it's $20 cheaper.

However, the Abarth has IMHO a nicer shell and comes with the newer ESC which I can use in my '03 or sell on, plus I can sell the leftovers pretty easy to guys at the club who run '05s, to recoup a lot of the extra cost over the Swift.

I guess what I'm trying to say is I can't decide for myself, so I need some help.
