What I like about most of the newer helis is that you can go from trainer to 3D without any upgrades. I went from planes to helis, also but decided to go with the raptor 50. I have not regreted it for a second... well maybe just a few while it was in transit to me from heliproz. As soon as I opened up the box and saw it I knew I made the right choice!!

Another thing I like about helis is that everytime I fly my heli I get the same feeling I did when I fly my first plane for the first time!!! It's still that way after 5 gallons! I have been getting 23 minutes of flying time on my R50 with a 2 ounce header.
