Any update? I'm waiting for the answer too.
Me too. Bought msi @55k..go for msi.. V can buy ssd anytime and install it urself
There's no point in buying the MSI 55K variant if you plan to invest in SSD. A 128 GB SSD will cost enough to shoot the final price above 60K. IDK, better go for MSI 7RE (67K) variant for it, alongside the ssd, also comes with 1050Ti which makes significant difference.
Saying in comparison of acer predator helios 300 and msi 7re is costing 67 which is way far than my budget.
so guys what should be the final verdict for I too have to choose between the two.
My concerns purchasing the MSI is poorer build quality, less battery life and very less no of service centers (above it, carry in warranty unlike onsite in acer).
On the other hand, Acer does seem to have heating problems.
any suggestions on what should I finally go for?

And heating is one of the major issue which one doesn't want in his/her laptop...
Thanks for the suggestion.
What's your say on warranty however?
I reside in Jaipur and the nearest MSI service center is in Delhi. At my workplace in Coimbatore, the nearest service center is about 600Kms away at Chennai or Bangalore. Is the tradeoff worth it?
Plus, though heating is an issue with the Helios, it never seems to cross safe levels in the stress test.
Also, the MSI laptops too have had heating issues:

Since the product is new and there aren't much reviews available, MSI may have similar issues as well. Though, the design seems better than Acer.
