airtronics mt-4, futaba 4pl and the radiopost radio.

Radiopost: top of my budget, but has a lot of features and feels nice in my hand, lesser known brand, color screen.

Futaba: Best price of them all, good features, backlight, doesen't feel quite as good in my hand, heard futaba recievers get hot and shut down. latency is the slowest.

Airtronics: telemetry, no backlight, pricey recievers, have heard of no problems with airtronics radios.

My question is, which one is the best bang for the buck and which one would be better in the long run. Would like answers from people that have owned at least 2 of the radios listed above. listed some disadvantages and advantages, but wondering if there is anything else i missed. Will be running them with a nitro truggy and a losi 4wd shortcourse. oh, and nobody dare mention getting a spektrum as i hate those with every fiber of my being.
What about the new mt4s. Has backlight and is lightning fast.
