I received a response from Hitec regarding my "scathing review" of the new 7
channel Eclipse transmitter
(http://www.hitecrcd.com/Catalog/Air/radios/eclipse.htm)

Wow 4 months from hitting the shelves and people already sending feedback.
Sorry but the design is fixed and will not be changed. Please understand the
radio will satisfy 95 percent of all pilots and with a price under $300 some
compromises had to be made. Yes I wish there were sliders, Yes the switches
will be easy to move and there is a potential to add even more model memory
in the future (like a CAM pack) not right now, but soon. Stand by for more
information in the future and thanks again for the information.
