[QUOTE="NyJosh, post: 34327, member: 6744"] I don't know how anyone can claim that the MA is way better / more reliable than a Spark considering it's only just been released. We won't know how well it performs until it's been out long enough and flown by enough people to see if there's a trend one way or another. Further, the MA also uses WiFi for control, so it's *not* (edit) too drastically different than the Spark. To the original topic, I've just started flying more expensive drones myself and and really happy with the Spark. I wouldn't want to lose it, but would be much more unhappy if I lost an MA at the higher price point. Also, you didn't mention if he is already into flying / photography. If there's a chance he'll get it and decide it's not really his thing or maybe be intimidated by it, the Spark is probably still the better way to go. I'd also put some thought into the "All in" price. The drone itself is one price, but once you add extra batteries and all the other gear we all end up buying, the MA will probably come out more expensive than an equivalent Spark setup. This is fine if you know he'll be into it, but more of a deterrent for him if he's intimidated by it or on the fence. As someone else mentioned, maybe buy yourself the MA or even an MP and give him your Spark. [/QUOTE]
