micro sticks fly very well but are only motor and rudder for control.. so with more power it goes up and you get left and right by the actuator on the rudder
The night vapour or standard vapour is much nicer but more expensive .. it is rudder, elevator and power controlled by its own tx or by binding onto a spectrum radio set..
Its always nicest to fly these on your good TX so I would go for the Vapor as a light weight ready to fly...
Cheapest option is to build a micro r/c kite my latest is superb, it will fly almost as slow as the Vapor, but add power and it is fully aerobatic

Cost to build is about 3 cf rods.. then your small rx, esc and 3 servos, battery and motor... more than the micro stick, but less than the Vapor.. and a lot more fun if you can fly ok.. that kite can fly in a small badminton court sized hall, but needs a bit more room than a vapour for its aerobatics..
