Default RE: Better than 14 MZ : Futaba FX40 !!

Probably (I'm guessing here) the software is more or less the same but the hardware different.
The design is definitly aimed at Multiplex and Graupner users.
The 14MZ has tough competitiors here in Europe, most notably Multiplex 4000 and Graupner/JR MC-24.
They have been around for a number of years but have a strong following with a solid reputation for top notch quality.
Futaba has to come up with something rather exceptional to make people switch brands.

The reason for the high capacity batteries probably is to cater for the soaring pilots in Germany/France/Austria etcetera where very long flight times are common.
