Default Conditions

So how many of us jet pilots take advantage of conditions in their transmitters? I'm thinking about the new Futaba 14SG as an upgrade from my 10c, but a little dismayed that conditions are not available on the airplane side, only on the glider and heli. I have never used them myself, never really had a reason to but see where they could be an advantage with the more complicated airframes. I.e. setting up landing modes and the like.

I fly both JR and Futaba so please don't let this degrade into a one vs. the other, not at all what I am interested in, just some opinions from more experienced pilots than myself. I have a new YA F15 that I hope to get started on later next year and am considering upgrading some of my gear to better accomodate my long term jet goals, as well as WWII giant prop fighters. I fly the 9303 as well as my 10C now, the new 14SG looks really nice, the price point being very reasonable, but get the feeling somewhere, somehow I may be missing out. A 18MZ at $3000 just isn't an option for me. Conditions, or the lack thereof, is the only thing holding me back.

So what say you? Conditions important, or more of a luxury?

Thanks much,
Dan
