Get Align DS415M or HS 65MG servos for your cyclic....They are worth their price.

Thanks doc! , I have already ordered Align links to begin with. The original intention to use cheaper items is for the training/learning phase. Didn't wanted to crash expensively ;) Part by part will be upgrading her and the size I intend to go with once comfortable with my flying is 500 or 600. This is also one of the reasons to keep the expense down for the 450. Next up with the upgrade most probably will be the servos :D

Although HS 65MG are rock solid stuff, but it is analog. Get the digital version
OR
get the TGY 306MG - (best VFM)
ALIGN 450 PRO DFC 6S Belt Driven | Polaris BEC | Nano-Tech 6S 1300mAH | Robird G31 | 325D Pro | TGY-306G HV | KST 515MG | K-Force 40A | NTM Rotor Drive 1700kv

Multiplex Easy Star 2 | Multiplex Mentor | Nissan 350Z Endless Tamiya TT-01D

Thanks for the info. Guess it pays to use MG servos for cyclic as well.
Does a pro kit demand better cyclic servos?

Hellyflyer

You only need metal gear servos on cyclic if you are doing tumbles, flips or tic-tocs,  till then plastic gear is just fine and no there is no specific demand for Pro kit it only needs a bigger tail servo, that's it.
Helis and Quads ROCK !!

Took her to the field but as advised by Bilal (fellow flyer), decided not to fly her as I forgot to change the feathering shaft! Infact I tried earlier but couldn't do it as it requires two quality 1.5 hex from both ends. Though I had two but was slipping :( Ordered two from helikraft as recommended by Bilal. I have seen him using those from helikraft and so far this is the best hex drives I have ever seen for hobby.
