Thanks Adam.
I agree with everything you say about the instant acceleration, power differences, etc. but how about with the power off? Obviously power off in a hover is no comparison there. You're a gonna with electric or glow. I mean such as gliding or dead stick landings, etc? That is where I am seeing the differences or at least think I do.

My electric Spacewalker seems to glide and fly dead stick like a glow powered plane. My Alfa Models FW-190 and my GWS ME-109 do not. Maybe it is because they are warbirds and even though they are foam and small sized they are still warbirds and are suppose to fly that way. My Mini-Hawk flying wing is worst than the warbirds. As soon as the power is off she is coming down. The balsa Mini Laser 3-D is better than the warbirds but not as good as the Spacewalker. Maybe it is just me.... (left the door wide open there......)
