Default Futaba 3GR or Sanwa Gemini X

Opinions? Not wanting to spend 300+ so these two look good options?

I've run a Gemini X since it first came out and am very happy with it. Before the Gemini X I'd always run top line radios and to be honest I don't feel I'm missing anything with the Gemini X and it is currently a great price too!

I have a 3GR and feature wise there's virtually nothing between them. However if you're planning to run multiple cars then you'll be better off with the Futaba as you can get Frsky receivers that are compatible for £25 (genuine receivers are extortionate and large). The Sanwa receivers aren't cheap either.

Sanwa is much better than Futaba, had a 3gr and worked well but as soon as I got a Gemini X the Futaba got binned.
