RE: CP VS PRO
It depends on the price difference. At normal pricing ($230 vs $250), I'd say definitely get the Pro. However, you might find a hobby shop trying to unload the regular CP.
I was in Ultimate Hobby in Orange, CA on Monday and they had CP's for $149 and CP Pro's for $199. For that price, I would've gotten the CP.
However, I bought my Pro a few weeks ago at the "normal" price of $250 and think the extra features were worth the extra $$.
