Default Stupid beginner question

So I'm looking closely at a 2nd plane. I fly an electric Hobbico SkyFly RTF and I think I've mastered it. Now I want something a little more powerful, with a better range and if possible the same or longer flight times. First off, what are the advantages of a gas powered plane over an electric one? I just saw a review for this Hobbico SuperStar EP Select RTF w/ Ailerons and it looked awesome. I thought to get power like that I had to move up to gas powered?? After the stock review he did a motor and battery upgrade and that was really spectacular.

Any suggestions? Is gas the way to go? Is electric good enough? With which one can I get the longest flight times with? thanks all!
