Default RE: Futaba T14MZ price is posted at Tower

I thought when this radio came out it would be very pricey and drive down the price of the 9Z as people would say "I'd just as well get the 14MZ instead for just a little more".

However - so far the prices are so far apart I can't see that happening.

I've been looking at new radios for the last few months and was interested when I saw this one. Figuring if I really want a nice upgrade it would last a long time. However so far no details have been released. I can't imagine it being so much better programming wise to be twice the price of a 10X or a 9Z. I imagine there are people who will buy it because it's cool, it's new, or people who truly need more than 10 channels. But I can't see the software/feature end of it being worth twice as much.

I guess now I'm back to deciding between a 10X and a 9Z. I would buy a Multiplex Royal Evo 9 channel in a heartbeat if it weren't for the whole expo thing - you have to have the same amount across all flight conditions - which just kills it for me.
