Can I assign all the rates to one swith , the one on the left side in my case on the 10x.
In my former futaba I have all my dual rates on the left side switch.

I switched from a Futaba 9C to a JR 10X back in December 2002 and have not looked back. I am not sure about your specific question since I use the switches the way they are marked. I use this method to KISS for me and all my planes are programmed the same way. I will give you this major piece of advice, BRAND SWITCHING IS A HUGE EXPENSE . I sold everything Futaba and bought JR replacements $$OUCH$$

Yes, the 10X will allow you to assign then all on the same switch if you wish. So will the 9Z.
If you want a fairly extensive overview of each radio as it compares to the other, check the MISC section of my web site at www.GiantScaleRC.com I have extensive experience with both radios, and I wrote a fairly unbiased comparison. I feel its unbiased because I really like both radios, still have both radios, and would highly recommend either one, and I tried to write the review without my personal preferences. The differences really come down to individual needs, priorities, and ergonomics.
I really went through each radio function by function, and also tried some advanced programming examples. They are both capable of anything that was thrown at it.
And yes, brand switching is expensive. When I switched, I only swapped the receivers and the transmitters which saved a ton since I didn't have to get replacement servos. I got about 60% of the cost of the receivers back when I sold them, so in the end, it wasn't all that bad.
