I have the Futaba 6EXA, and I could not be happier with it, once you understand how the computer side works. I currently have three planes programmed in. I dont use the expo features, because I have not had a need to. For $150 you cant go wrong, the lesser non-computer radio will cost a min of $100-$125 if it comes with servos and receiver. IMHO If you spend less now, you will kick yourself in the "you-know-where" in about a year when you outgrow your trainer.
