No, not really. If you had the money, I would suggest something bigger like a Nitro 50, or an electric 600, but if you are hell bent on a mini helicopter, then the TRex is the way to go.
There's one other consideration: available flying space. You can fly a mini in a smaller area than a Nitro 50/Electric 600. I could have never gone through my early learning stages in my backyard with anything larger than a mini.
