I'm loving my electric genesis. I think the plane needs a little more trim time but the electric power plant is GREAT! No fuel, no grime, no headers, no pipes, no vibration, no worn out servos, no throttle curves, no backfires, no tuning, no worries. And it's more powerful than a 160 to boot!

The only disadvantage to electric, besides initial costs, is flight time. I get about 8 minutes from the time I start my timer until the time I shutoff the plane and with the 160 I can usually go as far as 12 or so. It's impossible to get two sequences in on one flight. However, the pros far outweigh the cons if you can afford it.

P.S. - Don't really know what the others are doing honestly. You may want to get a second opinion, I'm just a kid .
