Default Question for the JR guys

I am thinking about switching to 2.4GHZ, I currently have a JR 9303 after retiring my old, reliable 8103.

Just my luck JR brought out a full 2.4 version of the 9303 not long after I bought a 72mhz one. I do see they also offer a 2.4 module to upgrade existing 9303 and other module based JR transmitters.

Anyone have any experience with the module 2.4 upgrade? I am wary from what I see in the photos on Horizon's website that it uses an external lead from the new module to the 2.4 antenna- looks like something that would be prone to damage.

The 2.4 module, antenna and & 7 ch Rx is $240; the 2.4 9303 Tx w/ 9 ch Rx is $629.
I would rather put the additional $400 towards receivers but not if the module version is problematic.

Second question is everyone running the 6 or 7 channel receiver? Any issues with the 6 channel Rx in a racing environment?

Thanks in advance.
