But, if you have already have invested in JR receivers, the JR gets a hair's edge over the Futaba.

As for the ratchet trim on the throttle being easier, I prefer the throttle cut switch just because after a flight, it's quite easy to forget to return the ratchet back to the idle and have difficulty starting again on the next flight. I used the throttle trim to shut down the engine on my old FF7 and the newer FF8 & 9z using throttle cut is alot easier IMO.
