The problem with Ares isn't really that they are all crap. Its their quality control.
Some are terrible, some are brilliant. So long as you know and have the means to fix any problems then id have no worry with Ares.
I never recommend them or suggest them because of this and I've known a lot to go wrong, but equally there aresome people i know (not as many though) who are very happy
Best thing to do for you seeing as you like the m110 so much is go for it, least your in a position to deal with any problems
If i had the same situation its what id do anyway.
