I love my M8, not planning on upgrading to the M11 for a while. Best thing is, right now you can get an M8 dirt cheap on ebay since the M11 is out. The M11 has a lot of nice features, but I dont even use half the stuff on the M8 so why spend all the extra coin? But whatever feels good to you is what counts. The VRX Li-Po made a big difference on weight also for the M8
