A guy at my field has the JR 12ch radio. It's really freaking nice[sm=spinnyeyes.gif] However I would not feel right with one in my own hands. I could feel good about owning a 9 or 10ch, but not a 12 or 14. I honestly don't think I will ever need the functions associated with a 12-14 channel radio (of course that's my hobby and my own take on it)
