Recommended Tailors in Beijing? $120 suit dilemma

I'm wondering if I should buy a roughly $120 suit here in Beijing or if the risk of poor quality or fitting makes that a bad choice. I know some of you here a real fashion pros that wouldn't even consider such a cheap suit, but frankly I got a $360 suit done in Tokyo and I am not impressed- tight/uncomfortable and way too 1940's looking... it also has a very plain looking fabric and delicate seams that look like they might not last that long. Can I expect anything better from a Beijing tailor?

If I am going to do this, I want some solid recommendations of tailors by you guys... preferably ones that would have pics of different cut styles I could choose from (I'm looking the more slim-fitting European style as opposed to American or baggy Italian.) thanks!
