High end computer radios MAY be more than the new guy needs but if you
buy 2 or more lower priced ones you'll have the same money into your
epuipment.
I went thru the multiple radios thing. Keeping them all charged and
maintained. Hauling many Tx's along to the field, ect. Finally got a
Futaba 8U a few years back(no I don't want to argue which radio is the
best) and now I fly all my planes on that one radio. Slope, HL and TD.
In my mind one radio is the way to go.
