I see "A LOT" of guys in the UK using the spartan now... Curious about it myself honestly... But I'm still tinker'n with the iKon and learning it. So far I like it.. Wanna get done with the tuning, hard with only 2 packs tho. I think I'll prolly not be trying the Spartan tho... Too many different gyros in the fleet would be weird.. I'm using 2 different ones now.. Learning curve needs no more twists in it if u know what I mean. BUT... That's a good price! Had I not got the iKon I'd be tempted.
