Like any after market product it's only as good as the information provided by the original manufacturer as to the architecture & technical approach used in a product.
Is DSM / DSM2 / DSMX proprietary? Is the technology protected by patents? Is there a published Rx interface that will allow any manufacturer to create and sell their own variant that is fully compatible with all of Spektrum's Tx? Did Spektrum teach others everything that others know about DSSS but not everything that Spektrum knows?
Just wondering ...
Bottom line - risk reward.

Besides there is a lot to say for the ease of programing, and that comes from the transmitter and what goofy button pushing combo some ding bat thinks up. Just for $hi*s and giggles try a Touch Screen HiTEC Aroura 9 Xmitter ... No Wheels Buttons or anything to push, hold or flip. just touch the screen with your finger tip and it responds with logical menu</span></span></span><span style="font-family: Comic Sans MS;"><span style="font-size: medium;"><span style="color: rgb(128, 0, 0);">s. The Aroura 9 also holds 30 models with 8 "Conditions" for each. This means U can set up each model 8 different ways, and it hopps, with any Receiver and has built in battery Telemetry on all.</span></span></span>
