addicted to rc

I have been running rc cars for about two years now, and have always had electric,Stampede, Evader, 4-tec. I would like to move to a T-Maxx and was wondering if anyone has any opinions on whether nitro is more difficult to run and maintain than electric or do the longer run times make it worth the effort. Also any tips about moving from electric to nitro would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
