Gaming laptop question

Is there any reason to not get a gaming laptop based on an MSI GT70 barebones build?

I am looking at a FORCE / MSI 1763 (22-001) 780M (MSI GT70 Barebones) from Xoticpc as it appears the cheapest way to get a 780m GPU.

I don't care that the keyboard won't have different color lights and that there won't be a third mSATA connector. (I only plan on using one mSATA drive for now). Are there any other issues I need to be looking at here?
 
If it comes with a single mSATA drive then it will have the 3 slot adapter (and one 2.5" bay), if it comes with no mSATA drives then it will come with 2x 2.5" bays and no msata slots.
 
The GT70 is an ok build, but I prefer the cooling and design of the similarly-priced p170sm.

The cooling is on par with each other.
 
So, if I don't order it with an mSATA SSD, then it will not have ANY mSATA slots, is that correct?

If so, I guess I'm going with the Sager NP8295 and upgrade the video card.
