$200 in sum total of damages for quadcopter damages through the life of the hobby so far is not bad!! And it's really cool that a museum is so understanding as well. :)
I wouldn't say better! I'd say it has a feel that I prefer more at this point for freestyle! Betaflight however is always at the forefront of looking to add new features so I like Betaflight for instance for my 6 inch long range setups where 6" tuning, GPS and RTH might be more important to me.
