I actually think the Quark is easier to progeram than most ESCs on the market. Try programing a Mtroniks if you think the Quark is a PITA. And there is nothing to program on a BK. I do agree that usb programing is the way to go, I did mention that to Quark when I talked to them and they said that they were already thinking about that for the next gen. So maybe... and thats a big maybe MMM will have some competition.

The biggest thing Quark has over the rest of the competition is that they have excellent service. ESCs are repaired or replaced VERY quickly. In my experience as good or even better service than CC. I have had an ESC in at CC for 5 weeks now. Last I heard it is going ot be replaced, but they are out of stock so I have to wait to get the replacement.

EDIT: And I still havent found a smoother esc anywhere. Nothing coggs on a Quark.
