Both the SFR1 and the UFR1230 have features that allow greater control over your speed. For example, if you are a user of cruise control then you will find that it is not great for manouvering and/or in reverse. You may also find that the ESC takes off a little to rapidly and so on.

The first stop is recording and viewing diagnostic information. The USM-RC-2 and the SFR1 are both capable of recording diagnostic information onto the SD card and their teacher applications can play that information back. The USM-RC-2, the SFR1 and the UFR1230 can also show diagnostic information via the data cable.
