I like my DX3S, and it was cheap really, the Spektrum stuff (subjective to models) is lacking a bit in build quality, but the nice big easy to read screen plus it weighs nothing, feels good in your hand, so yeah it's nice.
The tuning on it is not grand though, it's beaten for many features, which means at some point I want a DX3R myself, but you get spoilt on the super light weight and small frame, everything else feels oversized and overweight to me now.
