Would you more experienced guys spend the money on the Spectrum if you were starting out in the hobby at this time? Most RTF's have analog radios and the ones with a digital still are lower end types. I would think the module would be nice transition accessory instead of buying the Spectrum while waiting for more options in newer versions of the technology for guys that have high end radios at this time. It seems to me that the Spectrum is a decent price for what you get. Other 7 channel setups are only a 100 bucks or so less.
I HATE spending money, then learning I should of read a bit more on the subject and asked another question or 2

To be honest it's kind of a toss up. If they just had about another year on the Specktrum to debug it I would jump at it without hesitation as a "First radio" assuming I was sure this was going to be "my hobby". I'm right on the edge of getting one now but waiting just a little bit. Maybe v2.0 or see what Futaba/JR come up with. Not going to go with the "module system" as I like the Spectrum features more, but that is my preference.
