Helis are an absolute blast! The big kicker though, it that the time you spend wrenching is nothing compared to the time you spend just learning how to fly them. Which might not be of interest to you.
There's not a whole lot you can upgrade on a heli aside from motor, ESC, swashplate and frame. But you'll spend a shitload of time and money fixing it when you first start flying. Especially if you try to learn flying it over anything other than grass.
Don't let those vids fool you. Most of those shots are blokes trying to do something stupid or attempting extreme 3d flight on an expensive rig when they aren't ready. That's not to say that collective pitch helis aren't super sensitive, but you can tame down your dual rates to make any heli very easy to control while you're learning.
I know it's likely not your thing, but if you're the kind of guy who will spend hours upon hours mastering something, they're worth a look.

Small helis suck to fly. Trust me I own micro to 450 size. One of my micros is collective pitch and I can hardly fly it. It's very sensitive to input. A 120 size is good to start with. My 450 is a blast. I'm not very good at 3d so I don't push it. And I will agree with anubis. I would be most of those mishaps weren't just random booms. There is a lot going on in a heli. And of you don't know what your doing with the bigger ones you'll end up messing something up. It's just a different challenge that's why I recommended it.
