Default Stay with 50MHz or switch to 72MHz

I bought a Futaba 6AXS system with R127 receiver (1.5 oz) on channel 3 a few years ago for .25 to 1.0 size airplanes. Have accumulated three more R127's on channel 3 for my fleet. Am building some smaller planes that call for <.5 oz receivers. I find fewer choices and higher prices for small receivers on the 50MHz band when compared to the 72MHz band.

Does anyone know the pros/cons of staying with the 50MHz band? Am thinking about getting a Futaba 9CA on channel 13 and continue building my fleet on 72MHz where the choices for receivers are greater and the receiver cost is less. I fly fun-fly and 3D planes in a club.
