Default Questions about 2.4 module based systems

I'm thinking of switching to the 2.4 systems right now. I really don't want to as I have never had a problem with 72mhz, but with the amount of park fliers being flown without regard for neighboring RC fields the fear of being shot down is finally something that is getting to me. 25 years of flying RC and I've never been worried about that until recently.
So my main questions are, I have a Kingcat and a Super Bandit, both have the Duralite powerbox's in them.

1. Are the module based systems working well? Is there any problems with connection of the transmitter antenna after repeated removal and attaching (do you have to remove the antenna to fit it back in a standard 10X case).

2. In these particular jets, is the AR9000 receiver fine? Or do I need to look at the AR9100 powersafe receiver even though I'm using the powerbox's?

3. With the new receivers, do I simply plug all my servo's into the same spots on the 2.4 receiver as I would have had them in my 10channel receivers? I assume nothing would change in regards to the channel number, programming in the radio etc?

Thanks in advance!
