You might wanna hold off until Futaba gets their own US distribution center up and running, which if the buzz is true, might only be a matter of weeks. I’d only grab an MX-V if you can find one cheap. Now that the MX6 is out, dealers might be looking to clear out old stock.

As far as budget systems go, Radiolink isn't half bad, I keep one in my pit box at all times to have as a back up and loaner, kinda lacks on ergos but electronics are very reliable for club racing:

I have Sanwa MT4S and my son uses Futaba 3PV. We also have a few other budget radios. The Sanwa is obviously out of that price range, but I really like the 3PV. It has all the features you need. My only complaints are the menu is a bit of a pain as you have to cycle through every option rather than having sub-menus. Not a major issue because once its set up you don't really need to change it much. The other is that it could be a bit small for people with bigger hands. I find it fine but do know people who struggle with it. Otherwise build quality, performance, ease of use is all great.
I would vote against Sanwa purely based on the price of receivers, the cheapest Sanwa rx is the same price as the most expensive Futaba, or around 30% more expensive which makes a difference when you're setting up multipe cars.
