Default Deciding on a new ESC

Which is the best 1/10 brushless esc for around £100? I'm gonna be using it with a 6.5t brushless in a 2wd buggy. I'm toying with the sp reventon pro, but looking at toro's and hobbywing. I've been down the budget routes before with mixed success, speed passion gear has always been good though. Is there something else worth looking at?
Battery is an orion shorty 5400mAh 100c.

I picked up a used LRP Flow with a 6.5 LRP X20 motor for just over £100 to go in my 2wd.

Have to say so far it has been faultless and easy to set up.

I was initially looking at a new reventon pro combo but then again I don't mind buying second hand, though it was in very good condition.

Those are good escs you've listed, others worth considering and within your budget are:

LRP Flow £99.99 (onboard programming)
Vampire SR1+ £93.49 (onboard programming)
Absima CTS10 £89.99 (Requires programme card -combo £109.99)

All really good escs with solid back up

Didn't see that one Stickygeko, thanks. I'll take a look at the vampire sr1+, not seen that one yet.
It also looks like size and/or height may possibly be an issue. Ive not got the budget for a slim servo and not going to shelf my savox 1258.

Was going to go into my cougar, an internal reshuffle is in progress and will be using a spectrum micro receiver.
