Price is certainly a consideration, but if you can throw in another $60 dlls. you can get a Hitec optic 6 with spectra module (no need for tx crystals) and for $80 dlls. more you get the same Hitec with a receiver.
In my opinion the optic (I have one ) is much better than the Tower/futaba six channel. In this times of miniature receivers off brand the Hitec gives flexibility to fly with any receptor (theyre shift selectable, the optic that is).
