Just because it is electric doesn't mean it is a good deal. It is a good heli though, and you could learn some stuff on it. If you do prefer electric heli's then it is a good choice.But you will only get one +-7 minute flight per day. So you will have to get yourself a simulator, a few battery packs or a fast charger so you can get more practice.
If you're going for electrics simply because they are cheaper, then you should also look at what it's going to cost you to get adequate flying time. Once you've got yourself the heli, a few battery packs, a good charger etc etc. , you could of got a cheap 30 sized heli for the same price. But the choice is yours.
