Well, this will be more controller than the warrior 7018. Although it won't have the cell count capability (warriors can take 20 cells), it should handle more amps and can also run a brushed motor. It will be a clear upgrade to the 7018 warrior controllers (more programmable as well), aside form the cell limit. Price will of course be a factor in the ultimate value of the controller, but I would expect it to be reasonably priced as well as an exceptional performer. I guess it is tough to really make a comparison until they are available, though.
