Thanks guys, I fly a TON and don't want to spend $45 for a gallon of fuel - 10% here is $30-$35 as it is. The familiarity plus the power of a 120 two stroke makes me say I'm gonna get the 120AX. Some of you suggested I need to do what will get me the simplest setup so I can fly a lot, and you are right. I seem to want everything now but I have years to get into a 4 stroke, so maybe when I have a larger budget and some more experience flying pattern planes.

Will be ordering the Venus when my credit card payment clears 120AX shortly after that.

thanks for the help.
