Andrew,
You will find a vast majority of people on 2.4G and only people who have been in RC since Noah have anything other (72, 36 & 27 - depending on your age).
I have a 2.4G SANWA and swapped to Spektrum bcs a majority of "normal" fliers use Spektrum DX6i, DX7, DX8.
People who like special kit still use Spektrum DX9, DX11, DX12 or Futaba, Multiplex and other far less popular and more expensive brands.
Just about everyone in our club has had their hands wrapped around a Spektrum DX6i at some stage.
I currently run all my plances with a DX7 and am very happy with its capabilities but then again I only use about 50% of its functionality.
PS: The SANWA is a very nice radio too but the receivers cost $90 a hit and the Clone receivers for Spektrum DSM2 make hacking foam planes so much easier.
