Default RE: Noob Radio Questions

So here's a little exercise that shows the three radios that seem to most closely fit my needs for the forseeable future. Again, forgive my over-simplification. I'm new.


Airtronics RDS8000 $230 (Transmitter and receiver only at Tower Hobbies)
Pros: Least expensive. 8 channels (as opposed to 7 for the other two)
Cons: ?

Futaba T7C $280 (Transmitter and receiver only at Tower Hobbies)
Pros: ?
Cons: Limited and expensive selection of receivers. 1 less channel than RDS8000.

Spektrum DX7 $340 (Transmitter, receiver, and 3 servos at Horizon Hobby. I don't guess you can buy it without servos?)
Pros: Wide selection of receivers (Haven't researched this personally, just repeating what I've heard.)
Cons: Most expensive radio. 1 less channel than RDS8000.

Can you guys expand on this and fill in the blanks?
