Which 17mm hex conversion for E-Maxx?

[skellyo]

I'm trying to decide between the following options:

UE 6mm CVD's w/17mm hexes from eBay (hexes are currently listed with about 90 minutes left)

or

MIP 1665 CVD's w/17mm hub conversion from either Ofna or Traxxas

The reason I'm even considering the MIP's is that I can go to a standard 17mm wheel nut instead of some stupid oversized flanged nut for holding the wheel on. I have the flanged nut on my Savage Flux and absolutely hate it! I've heard good thing about the MIP's lately and should be able to sell my UE's to recoup at least some of the cost of the MIP's. Any opinions on this? My main goal is to get to 17mm hubs instead of the 23mm I have on now since all my other vehicles run 17mm.
