I'm considering the Legato over a 30 series for a couple of reasons (that
may
be in fact be bogus to begin with):

1.  A four stroke is easier to deal with in terms on adjustments, starting,
etc.

2. A four stroke is "significantly" quieter.

3. A larger size airframe is somewhat easier to learn on since it's
slightly
more "stable".

Any opinions on the above and especially the merits of the Nexus vs. other
four
strokes would be really welcome.

Some thoughts...

From the tower catalog, it appears that the legato is the *same* airframe
(dimentions) as the regular nexus.  So it would seem that this is probably
the *smallest* four stroker (compared to the Bergen, X-Cell, etc.)

Also, I'm sure you know this, but it bears mentioning that a four stroke has
a significantly lower power to weight ratio than a comperable two stroke.
High power to weight is *very* beneficial in helis :-)

Not to discourage the purchase of this machine though.  IMO, its probably
a pretty good machine.

I've had quit a bit of experience with the Legato, helping set it up and
test fly it for a friend first, then getting it installed, tested, and
competing in a scale fuselage...

As far as the .91 four strokes, I wouldn't recommend one to a novice.  
The intended market for the .91's is for competition and advanced flying.  
It takes more sophistication to tune up a .91 than a .61.
