Default RE: Optic 6 or what?

The Optic 6 does many things that the 6EXA does not. One of them is that you get high rates on 4 channels. One thing I wonder about the Optic 6 is if you can do dual ailerons and dual elevators and have the endpoints for both channels fully adjustable and the trims affect both channels. This is where the 6EXA falls short. I'd seriously consider the Optic if it will do what I mentioned above. I have the 6EXA and need to go to a 9C to get the fully adjustable ATV and trimmable dual channel elev and ail option. I have a plane right now that will not work on the 6EXA. It has 4 aileron servos and two elevator servos. And the flaperon feature in the 6EXA is useless for my flying. It restricts the throws of the ailerons (bad for 3d setups), and the knob on the the top right of the tx will move your ailerons if you bump it (flap control). There's no way to disable this knob.
