I have the DX3R. Upgraded from a POS Airtronics entry level model ($99). I also was talked out of getting the DX3S as I do not run Nitro and I have had no regrets. It has been awesome. It is great for off road. I am getting into on road and it doesn't seem as "crisp" so I am thinking m11X. I think that one may be out of your price range.
