for $80 more you can get the inferno which comes with a much better remote. I started with a spitfire, then a wildfire 2, and now have a crossfire. The remote's bells and whistles are nice but the #1 advantage of stepping up in remote class is range in my opinion. I can operate my crossfire from twice as far away as I could the wildfire and it also works better in cold weather.
That being said, you can kill plenty of coyotes with the wildfire and have a ball doing so.
