I have done some research on the Taranis too. Very powerful operating system for the money. I have held a Taranis tranny and it did feel a little cheapish compared to the A9. Now if we could get Hitec to install Frsky OS in a A9 tranny that would be ticket LOL. I did see one competitor at this years NATS who flew the Taranis so it is a viable pattern alternative. To me whatever makes pattern fun is the important factor. I enjoy tinkering with other alternatives for pattern.
