The menu is better on the Esprit, although it's not too bad on the 3VCS. Receiver size is a quite a bit smaller on the Esprit.
Both are ageing a bit and probably due a dedicated 2.4GHz replacement at some point as Futaba and KO both have dedicated 2.4GHz steer wheel versions, they've not been quick to follow with stick equivalents though, so that could be some time.

+1 on this.
I can't stand the KO, it is so thin, it's like holding a tea tray in my big, European hands. The 3VC feels very nice to me. But you should definitely have a feel of both before buying.
The Futaba is clearly better quality though. A much better investment, my 3VC is now 8 years old and apart from a damaged case where my daughter dropped it, it still works like new.
