it depends if you're patient or not. Glow lets you fly over and over again without having to wait too much. To get that on an electric you would need about 6 batteries in order to keep the show going not to mention the chargers, and the larger you go the more$$$$$$ a battery will cost. So its kind of a personal thing. I just got a t-rex 450SE V2 and I wouldn't go electric for anything larger than that since the price of the batteries seem to be exponential[X(] battery for 450=$60 battery for a 600=$300. electrics are convenient to certain degree. On the other hand electrics are quiet and clean. but again its a personal thing. Calculate the cost of glow vs electric and compare them to see what you would like best.
