My personal preference, get a different radio. IMO the Mt4s is the best in class for the 200-299 range. The receiver is smaller as well, which is nice on todays cars. I would avoid the "Eco" chargers. Are you placing a big Amain order? I would step up to this charger myself.

Also, IMO the TLR alum pinions are better then the robinson. They just seem to wear better.
