He has them all sucked in at the moment, I wonder how long it takes for them to realise it.

I hope XPS can be made to work as advertised, but even if it does, Australia has just received its first shipment of 6 ch Rx's that were promised by last Summer and it's almost Winter. To make matters even worse, these XPS Rx's cost almost twice as much as a Spektrum 6 ch Rx.

If eyepoker is right (which I hope he isn't) we can expect to see XPS fade from the scene in the next couple of years as other companies surge ahead with 2.4 GHz (or some other) technology.

Personally, I hope he IS correct, and XPS fades into nothingness. . nothing personal against the buyers of the product, but people like JD make it very hard for people in this hobby to accept true innovation and technology improvements.
