I know where your coming from Allen, I only discovered this forum the other day, and its seems to me the DJI have a huge following, I was thinking of getting something a little more versatile for my end use, but after reading the product review for DJI & also reading a lot of threads of people asking what to get for the first multirotor its seems its a lot more realistic to start with a product like the DJI to learn from, and after I have become more confident with my ability & understanding of how things work I will look at something for the purpose I wanted to get into the multirotors & just keep the DJI for flying around for fun.
Cheers
