If your plan is to flip it and make money, it's the worst idea ever.
This thread can pretty much end right here as Retro nailed it with his response. I'd only question whether or not you can be sure the two you referenced would really be significantly better (frame wise) than what you have? How much better would the welding be, or how much lighter the frame? It's so small to begin with that surely any weight difference would be minimal. Is there a possibility that you could spend the dough and import one of them only to discover it's not much better than the one you already have?
