2.) Do you have the funds?
Even if you aren't in it for the long haul you can sell the radio as mentioned already ... however at a loss of $$. This leads me back to #2. If you can afford and plan to be in the sport a while it go for it. If not and you're going to fly a trainer & then hang it up go for a simple 4 ch. ... @ $140 it's tough to ignore a Futaba simple 4 ch.
You're looking at it all wrong. The 9c is like having 8 radios (8 model memory) but for only the cost of a couple and a half, AND, it's got features that take it's capabilities way beyond a basic radio.
There, you now have justification and rationalization all in one sentence.
