    Welcome to Bicycles SE. As it stands, you're question is too opinion based for our Q&A format. A better way to frame your question would be to ask about the relative advantages/disadvantages of the two brands you're looking at, or the advantages/disadvantages between building a bike or using the stock setup. You're welcome to do both, but please ask two separate questions. See our help pages for more information about how the site works.

I'm an old man, but I used to ride BMX street and flatland years (decades) ago.

Because of their very specific geometry, Flatland frames are not great for anything but doing tricks. If you need a general purpose bike for transportation and whatnot, stick with your Stolen (brand) BMX.

For those wondering, "Stolen" is the name of a BMX equipment manufacturer. http://www.stolenbmx.com/
