From the flip side of this debate, the only surfaces I have ever fluttered with "digital " servos on them had 8411's, and they were less than 25 flights young. They also experience extremely premature gear wear and bent pinion shafts. In fact, you could say taht JR digitals are "famous" for antics like bad gear wear, "wobbly" rudders, and being overpriced for what you get. Heck, you even have to put an output shaft brace on an 8411 to get the top of the output shaft to not MOVE under heavy loads. Add $12 for the braces, per servo, if you want the JR's to not rock the output shafts.

On the other hand, I've had one questionable HiTec digital in 3 years using HiTecs, and with as many as 200 flights on a set of 5945's still have tight, strong geartrains. My 5735's (I own about 10) are the most bulletproof servo I've ever seen. Add in programmability, less expensive pricing, and a warranty that MADE JR and Futaba improve theirs (gee no one did 3-years on geartrains till HiTec did. . now everyone does it) and you could not GIVE me a JR or Futaba servo now.
