How many receivers do you have for the 3PK and what type? FM, Spektrum, FASST?

The 4PL uses none of them and works on Futaba's S-FHSS protocols. That may decide things for you.

I have both, a 3pk/3pks and a 4pl, I like the 4pl because of its light weight and rock crawling functions, however, it doesn't have a drop down wheel or switchable for lefties. It does have an extra channel you may or may never use.

I must confess, I use a Spektrum DX3R Pro for racing and I like it but then I never used the 4PL for racing only rock crawling. I would imagine that it would work well and with receivers that cast less than half of either Spektrum or FASST.
