Already heard it runs very smooth and accelerates very quick but the acceleration should be a matter of the gearing the have.

Are there ceramic bearings which are better then others despite BOCA and Acer?
All the big bearing manufacturers,, Timken, SKF, NSK, etc. should be pretty similar i would think. it wouldnt hurt to call a bearing supplier in your area with your bearing dimensions and quantities and request pricing and availability before you order from acer or boca. you might find some cheaper and have more options of grades, seal types/shields. i would definitely shop around before spending such considerable about of money.
