I don't know if its worth $50 more, but I have a flip with a saito 72 on it and its a really nice 3D plane. Sometimes I wish it had a bit more power, but the 72 is so light that the airplane floats through 3D stuff really well. I'm using a 14/4 APC wide blade. It hovers and TRs very well, but the climb out of hover is a bt slow for my tastes.
