Yup, just opinions and everyone decides for themselves what is best. I was simply offering a different point of view and why I felt that way so others could judge the merit of that opinion for themselves. As long as equipment choices are based on an understanding of your needs and the pluses and minuses of your choices then that's a good decision. My real point was that for a different model, there may be very different requirements and therefore different equipment choices may be better. Even for the same model, someone with different needs / requirements may feel very differently about what's best for them.

I also always liked the power-safe receivers and now that I've switched to Jeti, I like the CB200 even better. Still, for some of my models that I don't feel need a power expander such as the CB200, I still prefer the simplicity of a single receiver. For example, my Boomerang XL, which I allow others to fly so they can try a turbine, has a single receiver since my DS16 can't use dual path while operating in Student/Teacher mode. If I didn't have the requirement of using student teacher mode, the boomerang may well have a CB200 installed. Still, review of the telemetry logs from MANY flights on the Boomerang have shown that the single receiver has always performed flawlessly and that it was a perfectly good choice for this model.
