Yeah a lot of guys said you wouldn't notice unless you switched from a Hitec to something like a JR, then you'd feel the difference. I can't believe how hooked I got on pattern - I used to love burning holes in the sky, now everything I do is pattern based. I thought about just having the Yak setup for 3D/fun, but I'm really just interested in having two planes setup to fly precision. Hopefully one will be for pattern and one for IMAC (even though it's small).
