Im the opposite.........I like the Dx3R better......I have small hands and it's very light with 2700mah Orion nimh cells, more balanced for me and more comfortable to hold for longer extended periods of time.....the menus are exremely intuitive and simple to navigate........only downfall, no backlit LCD or drop down(however Grid RC does make a drop down for it).........Dx3R gets my vote.........I had a steering trim pod fail in my Helios so I made the switch and am very glad I did.
