I'm pretty excited for the MT12 to come out as i've always wanted EdgeTX for surface. I flew drones for a number of years on OpenTX/EdgeTx and I got pretty familiar the way to set up things how I liked. Things like setting expo / rates and curves I think is much more superior than what i've been able to do on my M17.

Here are some of the advantages or features I think are worth it in this system:
- Cheap receivers for excellent perfomance. Great if you have lots of models like me.
- Telemetry features. Things like battery voltage, temp sensing, etc
- Reliable link for the speed running community. Not my thing but i've seen plenty of vids where the RX/TX link has caused issues.
- 4 in 1 version multiprotocol support. Having 1 TX that can bind to various protocols. Great if you want to consolidate various RTR models into a single TX.

EdgeTX also supports LUA scripting which could open the doors for ESC manufacturers to allow telemetry based settings changes to be made (similar to Sanwa TX/ESC). Unfortunately, RC car ESC innovation is seriously lacking when compared to drone ESC systems and manufacturers tend to gatekeep so that people stay within their specific eco system. I guess time will tell.
