I am not familiar with the futaba radio, but if it has 6 chanels and 3 point curves it is in fact more than enough. I use the JR X 378 (5 point curves, mixxes, bla bla bla) because of the heading hold gyro the mixes are out the window, nobody i know uses them, and after weeks of messing with curves i ended up just nulling out two of the points on each curve and i am running 3 point curves, nice and simple and works great. honestly for normal mode, i am not sure that i even need 3 points. I ve looked at example setups on Raptor technique, setups done by friends with the fancy radios, and guess what? most of them are running straight lines for everything, so the difference beween 2 points, 3 or 5 or 10 points is it is a PITA to adjust the fancy radio, and a breaze to use the simple one. try the radio you have. the manual that comes with it is not so great but there are afermarket books on set up if it is the radio i am thinking of.
