What makes this Futaba 3-channel worth more than $500?
There are lots of new 2.4Ghz radios out now. And 6 channel two stick radios are $200. 7 channel two stick radios are $350. So why is this 3 channel costing more than $500? I don't get it. What makes it so special that it is so expensive?

I would assume it is tied in with the "FASST (Futaba Advanced Spread Spectrum Technology) sends twice as much information to the receiver at eight times the resolution of standard systems for unsurpassed control and smooth servo travel"
Maybe it can read our minds too

I read the manufacturers page. So it sends more bits, but I have not experienced any issues with either my DX6 Spektrum or Futaba 6EX on 2.4 Ghz. So I still don't understand the cost difference. If that is the whole difference, the bits, then I don't see it being worth an extra $300 dollars.
Maybe it's the pretty blue backlighting on the lcd panel.
