Default Spectrum Receiver type usage

I picked up a H9 P-51 II to refresh my flying after 20+ years and also to teach my daughter how to fly. I decided not to update my old Futaba 7FG because I want to get back to pattern and will use a new JR 9303. I have put 7 AR500 Rec. in various gliders, old Sig Kadet, Sig Kavalier and a Kyosho Sensation. The Mustang came with a AR6200 rec with remote antenna. My question is will the AR500 be ok for my old pattern planes (80's) and newer 2M 4 stroke planes. I actually plan on using a AR6200 in my 2M but should this be one of the multi (3+) antenna rec. Spectrum web site dosen't say what the limitations of the A500, AR6200 rec's are or at least tell you if you fly pattern don't use the smaller units. They call the 500 a sport rec but at what point would this not serve my needs other than the extra cahnnels. I will have the 9 Ch JR later this summer but do I need to spend the $ on the 9200 Rec with mult antenna for my newer pattern planes or can I use the $ for other projects. I currently have no need for a 9 channel rec.
