Hall sensors vs. pots is a sensible comparison. More range for boats or whatever also makes sense. I’m not sure it’s worth ditching a $500 radio for a $100 radio to prevent potential future pot replacements for a couple bucks. But for a newbie that needs a radio certainly part of the factors to consider.
I guess a better way to ask the question would be this: Are there any edgetx features that allow for adjustability above & beyond what Sanwa or Futaba offer? Rather than linear curves for example are there parabolic/custom curves that can be implemented on the MT12 but not Sanwa or Futaba? Telemetry sounds like it’s limited to rx voltage regardless of the radio manufacturer at this point in time. If EdgeTX offered additional telemetry data right now for example, I’d think that might be a reason to switch. I just don’t think that’s the case which is why I’m curious to learn otherwise if anyone has that definitive info.
