| First my off topic
What I find funny is that anyone would push it this hard to try to prove why one heli is better or worse due to a company's track record, especially for one's that have never been in the E heli market yet. It's all assumption and we all know what assuming will get you!! Here's where it gets interesting people talk about the the Align failures.. How many failures have been simply because of lack of knowledge on the part of the consumer as well? I know the original helis were crap but that is so far gone into yesterday that its no longer relevant, heck those crap helis were ground breaking. How can one assume that Hirobos or TT's first crack at a Eheli will be any better than anyone elses? Here is the only fact about Hirobo E helis; They will have awesome Tech and Customer Support. End of story.
By the way anyone commenting about throwing tails off of a Trex.. Since you all are so engineering minded.. You take the weight of the item, spin it around at 15k+ rpm ensure that there is no way for that RPM to be constant, induce heavy side loads, and introduce that no one will do any preventative maintenance on said object, also note that almost no one will balance them first, and figure out how to make it that small and strong enough to deal with those stresses.. I implore you to do so lol if you get it right you will be rich, but I will bet you don't get it right the first time because there are literally thousands of customers out there that will break it in a way you didn't think of or tap it on the ground then blame your shoddy work for the failure 
The Hirobo crowd calling the align swashplate crap.. Yupp it was, they fixed it, I guess you all forgot about your one ways? It seems Hirobo had to fix them too, and a few other things as well, how bout that head on the new EVO? The only indisputable fact of Hirobo is Jeff, everything else can be disputed simply by personal preference. I personally think Hirobo's are ugly, they fly nice but are ugly to me.. The same reason we may pick a heli or a wife lol.. Most men did not talk to their GF or wife the first time because they heard that when she starts to cry there is a phone number you can call to get things fixed lol..
So what is real
the TT eRaptor will be attractive to some
the Hirobo Lepton will be attractive to some
The Align 600 will be attractive to some
any other heli will be attractive to some
Those of you that think you can change the mind of the other because you shout louder or spew more off topic post material are full of Pucky..
Align has the upper hand they are very experienced in the E heli market. Hirobo has a strong past with customer support and quality. TT will flood the market with parts, we all need them right? My call is the engineering problems to overcome on E heli will get smaller with the heli getting larger. The problem has and will be with size for Align, I do not expect for their parts to be failing as much as originally due simply to this fact. Hirobo and TT will have to overcome being the new kids on the block with E helis. You can bet your paycheck that there will be more bling and more upgrades "immediately" available for the align products.. Upgrades aren't always done out of necessity they are mostly done out of want. Our need to be beyond what we have and are.
Tongli grow up name calling was left in grade school.. Some of your points are valid but they get blown straight into the crapper by your end of post remarks.
Back on topic
No I will not be getting a 600
See guys all of the arguing and name calling and BS could have been avoided by simply staying on topic.
