| For the money, I think the Devo10 has the best price/performance ratio of any of the Devo radios. If I had to choose between the Devo8 and the Devo10, it is a hard choice. I'd probably take the Devo8, but only because it is prettier. | For the money, I think the Devo10 has the best price/performance ratio of any of the Devo radios.

| - | * **Pros:** \\ - the screen is huge and beautiful \\ - it is actually lighter than the Devo10 \\ - it has better build-quality than any of the other radios (and the others are not badly designed) \\ - the radio has 6 additional analog controls (besides the sticks), five 3-postion switches, three 2-position switches, and 2 digital trims (besides those assigned to the sticks) \\ - the screen is higher resoluton than that of the Devo8 and has much better contrast | + | * **Pros:** |

| The Devo12 is the Rolls-Royce of Walkera radios. Compared to radios from other companies, I don't think you can beat it for the price, but it is also much more than most people will ever need in a transmitter. | The Devo12 is the Rolls-Royce of Walkera radios.

| It is hard to beat Walkera's lineup for the price. The Turnigy9x with er9x is probably a better value if you want to solder a bunch of modules into it, but a Walkera Tx running Deviation supports a lot more protocols without needing to modify the transmitter other than a reversible firmware flash. The one issue I have with Walkera is their quality-control. All of the Walkera transmitters I own are well built and reliable, but other folks have gotten lemons. I think Walkera standalone Rx are overpriced and feature limited and my RX1202 is very frustrating, but those embedded in helis seem to be much better overall. | It is hard to beat Walkera's lineup for the price.
