A few nice features of the 2.4 radios, and since you mentioned Spektrum that really date your 9C
1. The system processing speed is SO MUCH faster. Its particularly noticeable with dual elevators on the 9C not moving in unison if you yank the stick.
2. Model match. If you have the wrong model selected the receiver won't respond until you do (only Spektrum systems)
3. The obvious freedom from the frequency pin and associated accidental shoot downs. Though this is mitigated these days since so many people are using 2.4 including the walmart/radio shack models that folks would show up with the day after Christmas.
