Default RE: jr 9x or m.plex evo? need to make a choice

The reason that the Futaba 9Z alone amongst Asian radios has the Multiplex style totally free assigning including channel assigning, is that it is a Multiplex! Futaba licenses the use of Multiplex operating system from a Mpx year 1984 radio to put in the 9Z. It’s 20 years old now, that shows how far ahead Mpx is. So would you like to own an 8+1 channel 20 year old Multiplex software with Futaba hardware, or an bang up to date internet connectable 9 or 12 channel Multiplex system for a much lower price? The Evo can’t quite get to the extremes of programming that the 9Z can do, for instance it can’t alter flight mode dependent upon rudder stick position though it can dependent upon throttle/flap/spoiler stick position, and its flight phases are a bit limited, but it gets very close to the 9Z. Bear in mind the Evo is not even Mpx’s top of the line radio whereas the 9Z is Futaba’s best.
