I have one and would personally say they're better in many ways, as they have a much better menu system and a backlit screen (useful at live shows). However I know Dave W has had trouble with Orange Txs not doing bind procedures properly, though mine binds fine..

Yeah, wondering if you'd seen the postage :L I didn't get charged for customs, but with postage like that it's already close to the cost of a DX6i. There's no UK vendors of them either, so that's about the cheapest you'll get one for sadly...

Yes its probably better to go for a dx6i, i can get one for about £80 and theres no real rush just yet.
Thanks anyway, at least I know now if I see another supply for the Orange.
