Not sure what all the complaining is about. Have you even looked at all this ESC can do? The closest competition in terms of programable items is the Novak kinetic. Which if i remember I paid 225$ for it when it came out. As soon as it was available I got it. Now I know Tekin has been a work horse, but it is still 170 or 200$ depending on if you get the pro or not. But even it does not have all the stuff packed into this esc. I didn't expect anything less really. Especially considering the orion which doesn't do any of the new stuff is retailing for 220$. I just placed my order.
