Default what is the difference between an fm or 2.4 ghx tx

hi guys,

ok,, besides not having to worry about interference from other guys radios what are the differences between a fm and the 2.4 ghz radios?

i can get a futaba fm for $79.00 nib and an extra 60 bucks for another receiver.. or i can get a futaba fasst 2.4 for $189.00 nib and 90 bucks for an extra rx.. so if i got the fm i would save around 140 bucks.. they both have a 10 model memory and the led screen. the fm doesnt have as many buttons which would be less confusing.:}

i am pretty sure i will never race or even be near other guys and their trucks.. so what would be a good reason to get the 2.4 ghz over the fm? i was pretty much set on getting the fasst system until i saw the fm's.

now i'm wondering what to do. has anyone had experiences with both? i'm sure most guys will say spend the extra money and get the better radio but as i said i really dont think i will ever race.. if i got the fm i could use the money saved to get some hop up's for my trucks.. i have the revo3.3 and the newer tmaxx 3.3. thx for any input....jake.
