question for ya'll

soo i'll be getting $50 from an article i wrote recently... and i want to spend it on one of 2 things.... i can't make up my mind on which one i should buy....

#1: a Hi-Tec Optic 6 Sport (6ch tx with 1x receivers, i already have one in my box of goodies)

- pro's ;
- capable to fly wings
- expo, throws, and all those extra things a computer radio offers you.
- capable to buddy box with a friend of mine (pro 3d pilot)
- potentially better range than my 35mhz esky 4ch bare-bones tx that i am currently using.

- cons: can't think of any........


#2: a 1.2 m ulgy stick with electronics and bare bones 2.4 ghz 4ch tx...

pro's:

- can use electronics in another plane... have 2 planes ready to fly at all times
- extra tx and rx
- excellent balsa plane, for once i am confident enough.
- and possibly another 2200mah 3s battery... it is a little old, so it may or may not work...

cons:
- i don't want to fly a balsa plane yet (pls don't argue with me, it is a personal decision)
- still can't fly wings.
- it is ugly:ROFLMAO::ROFLMAO:

----------------------------------------------------------
please let me know as too which one you would go for, if you only had a barebones 4ch tx, and a power pack C...... along with a 220mah 3s battery... what would you do?

I'm not sure... Probably the plane if you know how to repair balsa planes (I don't, but I should learn so I can fix one of my friends planes... simple fix, really just needs some covering in some spots.
