the only thing on the rx8 that you gain with the hotwire is the timing adjustment.

The timing adjustment seems pretty important considering Tekin themselves are changing the default timing value with the new software download since they think it was a bit high from the factory.

TeamTekin on RCTech:
"The default timing on the Rx8 units shipped was 32 and would raise the kv another 50 or so on each motor. In the new software coming shortly the default has been reduced to 10 as it was suppose to be to begin with."

At such a close time to the release of the product you're going to want the firmware revisions that are definitely coming, which means you're going to want the Hotwire.
