Could be, I was checking my bills, in 2004 I bought five ARFs, in 2005 I bought 3 ARFs and only one Kit, last year I bought 4 ARFs and 4 Kits, This year I have bought 2 Kits and I am not sure about buying any ARF.
As you can see, as deep as I am coming into this hobby, I think like most of you, I feel better to fly my built kits than any ARFs.
One more think I'd like to share, Most of my wrecked planes are ARFs, most of my planes from kits are still alive and ready to fly.
Happy landings.
