Default 3CH for a newbie

I'm wondering if the PZ Super Decathlon is a good starter for someone just getting their first 3 channel bird. After reading the revie by Greg Covey, I thought it would be a great choice for sure, but a few (more experienced flyers than me) have steered me away from it. A few of them quote the power issue as a detractor. I was really attracted to the dual mode system that allows for rudder and elevator mixing until I get my "wings". Any help here? I don't mind lazy circles until I'm really ready for acrobatics or a 4 channel bird. My wife is buying one for Christmas, and I'd hate for her to get something I won't be ready to fly. Any advivce?
