Default Which entry level computer radio?

Don't any of you feel all these complex mixes are taking the skill out of flying? Don't get me wrong, I think computer radios are wonderful, especially for installing servos and not having to worry about direction of travel and so forth. Some of the mixes are getting too sophisticated. For example rudder to aileron mix. How difficult is it to simply move your left thumb 1 centimeter while banking? Expo and dual raters are very usful, as well as flaperons, v tail, elevon, timers, low battery alarms, digital trims, model memory, and other features unavailable on the older non-computer radios. The starter of this thread is looking for a less-expensive entry computer radio. I still lean towards the flash 5. It has all the great features of a computer radio, including 3 pre-set mixes, but it is kept simple. It doesn't take the human out of flying.

Just my opinion, I could be wrong.
