Everyone will have their own experiences and failures of various brands. And once you have a catastrophic failure that has taken out a $3000 plane, you may never buy that brand again. I've had 2 Hitec failures....they were used and not even under warranty. Sent them both in and they were repaired or replaced for free. How could I have the same confidence in Fantom, JTP, SRT, or AMR to do the same? What reason could I possibly have to spend $150 on an unknown brand? No offense to any of these brands......how could there be an offense when I had never heard of them.
