piper_chuck,

I do understand that $60 may be a BIG difference to a beginner in the hobby. However, it may also be money well invested. If he had asked about buying an OS LA vs an FXC, my advice would be to buy the FX. More money, sure, but a good investment for the years of flying to come.

Buying cheap is sometimes called "cutting your nose off to spite your face."
