Contrary to many, I do not buy in to the "Once you get a second plane, the money spent for the simple radio was wasted" line.
Even if a person decides they need a $2500 monster radio for plane number 2, they can keep number 1 intact and enjoy it for a long time.
You do not need multiple model memory, exponential, or other features at this time. Concentrate on learning to fly first; then agonize over which radio to get for the next plane.
I totally agree, other than the end point adjustment, I can't see anything else that abeginner can use on a computarized radio, but if you still want to get a fancy radio and you can affort it, then just get what you like, in that case Iwould get a 7C rather than a 6 ch.
