Default Engine Differences...

Ok,I wanna hear some opinions on the differences of engine....particularly the O.S.,thunder tigre,super tiger,and evolution brands. I'm fairly new to the hobby and so far I own a thunder tiger GP-42,and a super tiger G-90. I love my little thunder tiger .42. It idles fairly decent and runs very consistantly(except for my carb falling off this weekend causing my first fairly successful deadstick landing) and was fairly cheap. My super tiger .90 runs ok,but could idle a tad better down low(but maybe that is common with larger engines),but not too bad. And it was DIRT CHEAP! I like both my cheapo engines and dont regret buying either of them considering they're almost half the cost of an O.S. Everybody tells me O.S.'s are WAY better,but Its gonna be hard to convince me to spend the money for an O.S. My first 4-stroke might be an O.S. though. I have an evolution .61 I'm picking up in a couple days that was also dirt cheap compared to an O.S. Cant wait to see how it works.

Anyways...it seems to me that O.S.'s might be known for there great low idling charactaristics,but for a newb like me,seems like cheap is good enough! lol

Considering were newbs here,why should we buy O.S.? And how do they compare to our cheap thunder tigre's,super tiger's,and evolutions that would make a difference for us rookies? Keep in mind were not professionals and wouldnt be able to tell most differences....

thanks!
