I'd recommend staying with the 3110, you may at some point have a
heavier, stronger plane you'd like to launch. Simple tap, tap, tap,
or the foot switch will launch the lightest of sailplanes.
I have Real Balls on my 3110 and glad I made the investment. Since
they are hard to get on occasion, it will be a service to let the
list know how this alternate works out.

More info. Injoy does, indeed, have a needle bearing 6V 3110
available: new, not reconditioned. Ought to be pretty good, except
that I'm leery of a 6V motor when launching smaller planes. One
mistake, and you could convert someone's Gentle Lady back to a
kit. I'll go that route, if necessary, but I'd still rather stick
to 3115 motors.
I'm hoping that Real Balls or some other ball/roller bearing end
caps will become available. In the meantime, a Torrington B-1010
needle bearing will very nicely replace the front bushing. (Thanks
for the tip to Tim McCann.) I should have this setup flying by
next weekend, with any luck. I'll post the results.
