For $30 the Slice is pretty much impossible to beat. I have been carrying around my VT75 more lately because it is 30mm tank friendly and I finally found an escribe file that makes it suck a lot less. For performance the Slice kills it but for looks and build quality the VT75 is real nice.
The Ohmsium is a really nice mod, I don't have one but do have a Minikin V2. Asmodus mods have really nice build quality but I always use my Minikin in power mode, the TC on it sucks. If I could put a FSK board in it I would be in heaven though.
I have been pretty impressed with the Smoant Battestar. Nicely bulit, smooth power and good TC. It can be had for less than $40 from misthub if you hunt down the 10 to 15% off coupon at reddit. I think it is reddit15 but don't remember.
Personally I haven't had a lot of problems with the paint on my Slices, the worst one is the Blue though. If your worried then I would suggest the silver slice, even if it chips it is harder to tell. The red slice is a sex machine though and my paint has held up real well.
I wound up removing the paint on my black Slice just because I saw someone else did it and thought it looked great. Here is my neked brushed finish slice:
