I got the Alpha and it has been a breeze to train on. So far just one prop broke on me, just came in a lil too hard once! No biggie though! Cruises like a champ! Bearly touch the controls and it makes its turns! Takes off with ease and lands super slow, gives me plenty of time to make slight adjustments comming in! The set up is great for all it gives you! A couple guys at my last field had them and they all loved them! In the end its up to you and your money! THe Alpha has deff come down in price since i bought mine! Go get an alpha!
