Im looking at some nice transmitters and I am curious about what ones may be good. Now I dont mind spending $200-$300 for a solid transmitter that will support multiple planes, be pretty universal/flexable, and last a long time not to mention have support for 6-7 channels. Ihave been realy looking at Futaba and Spektrum. Ihave heard great things about Futaba but Ilike the look of the Spektrums. Are Spektrums pretty good (the appear to be). Are there any other afordable/robust transmitters available that I may not be aware of other then the two I have mentioned?

Thanks for the help.
