I too was waiting for the DS-24 to switch over from JR DMSS but ended up buying a second hand perfect condition DS-14 for just over $500. It had a few upgrades already done and unlocking to 14 channels means I can do everything I need to now. This has allowed me to switch some models over to Jeti and get used to the programming difference. I've already bought my Powerbox Mercury's for two new jet models and once the DS-24 is released the 14 will become my son's transmitter and we can buddy box. I was really happy with my JR gear and have always flown JR but I'm loving my Jeti system.
