Default Dont know what one to get

Im in the market for a new remote. Ive out grown my dx6i and looking at the dx7s or the dx8. The past little while Ive gotten into multicopters and id like to be able to activate thing at a flip of a switch. So whatcha guys think??

Go for the DX8 or DX9. Both are great.

I've got a 7S and an 8 (and hopefully a DX-18 for Christmas ) and love them both.

the DX8 does have more programming options, more switch functionality and more three position switches...
(I assume you mean three position switches when you say 'Multi Toggle')
what are you trying to accomplish?

Well im trying to not do stick inputs for activate different things on the quadcopter. My 6 only has one toggle and im looking for more then one but dont want to be kicking myself in the ass a few months after for not buying the different model. I want to be able to activate the rth(once i get my GPS) and my auto level. I was at the lhs today and Im kinda leaning towards the dx8 but its about 100 more. Ive never really bought a new plane remote ive always bought used. im just stuck on what to buy

There should be used DX8's on the market (replaced by DX9 which has lots of upgrades inc voice features NO ONE else can match)

for what you seem to want --- the DX8 used , sounds like a plan.

I am new to the hobby and havent bought any equipment yet. But, I was thinking of starting with the DX6i Mode 2. Would you want to sell yours?

Sold my DX8 for 200 bucks when I bought the DX9. That helped bring the price of the DX9 down.
