The problem with Spectrum (or Futaba) is that their software is closed source. The FrSky Taranis for example, ships with open source open-tx installed and for the features you get it's way cheaper than Spektrum... Also, you can install spektrum module to taranis or turnigy (and get best of both worlds).
