Default Trying to figure which radio to purchase

I need a little help. I am trying to figure out which radio to purchase. I have 3 choices Spektrum DX3S, DX3R, or the Futaba FASST. Any input would be helpful

for the price the DX3S is the best bang for the buck. I have never had any issues with mine and it is much faster than the AM radio that it replaced.

The DXS3 is cheaper, but the DXR3 is better in both options and quality.

i have a real dumb way of lookin at it. go to a shop. hold them all in ur hand, talk to the employee, shoot the shite, ask questions, compare them etc. all the while, the 1 you forgot you were holding is the 1 you want. kinda silly right? 1 thats comfortable is the 1 to have.

or go to the radio & electronics section of the forum, there are about a dozen active and semi-active topics you can find really easily since the question comes up once a week
