Default RE: From Hitec Eclipse 7 to a Futaba 7CA

What I'm after is this. I'm currently building a WM P51D and what I would like to do is assign the flaps to a 3 position switch as:

1 position no flaps or neutral
2 position 15% down or so
3 position 40% down or so

From what I understand the Eclipse 7 will not support that. Please don't get me wrong, I just purchased my second E7, due to running out of model memory room on my present one. I like it a lot, but thinking about returning it or selling it to my good pal "Red Wing". Also, a friend of mine has the Futaba 7CA and I like where the retract switch is located on the tx vs. where it is on the Eclipse. What I need to do is begin flying with a neck strap as that'll free up a hand.

What do you all think? Should I keep my second Eclipse 7 or trade it for a Futaba 7CA which I think can support flaps on a 3 position switch and has 10 model memory vs. the 7 of the Eclipse.
