Ok, I think I have the building concern out of the way as I can easily obtain all the needed materials.
I used the comparing feature on RCU for three motors, the Hacker, the E-flite 480, and a 450.
Comparing to the hacker (which you said flies good) the 480 seems a little too big. But the 450 seems like it would work nicely.
What do you think?
