I can only go by customer feedback, and it has been highly positive on the DX3. I do not want to diminish the problems the other posters had on their spektrum's but we have sold quite a few of them, and only one has come back to visit. It had a screw in the steering wheel that was overtightened and was causing unsmooth turning of the wheel. The added 2nd free receiver ($80) makes it a decent value. The short TX and RX antennas are another plus.
