Spektrum DX8 V DX 8 (Gen 2)

[A_Simple_RC_Pilot]

Hello FliteTest Community,

I am in a small dilemma when choosing between the Spektrum DX8 (Gen 1) and the Spektrum DX8 (Gen 2), the biggest difference is the price (The Gen 1 is AU$200 and Gen 2 which is Au$400-Au$500). And is it better to get the newer version to "future proof"? Cant wait for the help.

That's a very big difference in price.

Why so much ?
What does Gen 2 have that Gen 1 doesn't ?

Another comparison you might want to consider would be between DX8 Gen2 and a DX6 Gen2.
