Default Best simulator for TREX 450SE

My name is Chad and I am very new to flying. I bought a micro indoor coax heli and liked it so much I bought a micro indoor fixed pitch. I liked that so much, I decided to buy more gear without doing my review homework. I now have a few helicopters and a few transmitters waiting for me at home(TREX 450SE, TREX 450 clone I think it is an EXI, Spektrum DX6i and DX7SE). Long story how I end up with all this, but I have it now and will be home in a few weeks to gather it all (military on deployment so I had everything shipped home). So now I want a flight simulator to learn to fly my TREX 450 that I can use to grow to the 3D level.
It looks like the RealFlight G5 would be best, but the Reflex also looks good and I need help deciding which is best for me. Whichever I get, I would like to use my DX6i (would loev to use my DX7SE but it has no trainer port). Any help would be great.
R,
Chad

Thanks for thr reply. As I have not used any simulators, what makes Phoenix better than RealFlight? Can i use the same one from the beginner level and eventually grow to 3D with it? Thanks.

Phoenix will work great to learn all the way to 3D level. You get free upgrades and new models were as realflight makes you pay for everything. They will nickle and dime you to death. You can use your DX6i with it no problem. The physics are better on Phoenix for helicopters. Phoenix also has the trex 450SE as a model to choose from.

Phoenix hands down. I've had both Realflight and Phoenix and am sticking with the Phoenix. You can use any Tx pretty much from what I understand (I use my DX6i and DX7). They have a better selection of helis also. The one thing that Realflight has is Knifeedge where you can download new planes for free. I am sure this will come sooner or later with Phoenix.
