Wasn't sure how to quote from another thread, and for a loss of time, just did a copy/paste, but Billy T w/ Hitec said the above.

I guess that what he was getting at was that analog are a little more forgiving in setting up a throttle/brake linkage. Since I have taken the time in the past to set up my gaps and epa's properly then I should be ok with a digital. Thanks Espeefan for making me take a second look.
In this day and age, with the higher end computer radios, set-up is a non-issue. EPA and subtrim will make it possible to dial in a perfect throttle/brake linkage set-up everytime.
