Xmods vs Iwaver

Had a full length thread going when suddenly IE crashed

Anyways, I know the Iwaver does edge out the Xmod stock for stock. But what has me wondering about getting an Xmod are two things:

1) Parts availability. Radioshacks are everywhere, and they will have Xmods (or atleast will be in Canada soon). Iwaver? I'd be lucky to find even an aftermarket H-plate for any Mini Z.

2) Battery cost. Xmods --> 4 AAAs and a 9V. Iwaver --> 4AAAs and 8 AA's. The battery cost for the Xmods is a lot cheaper.

I normally wouldn't care about the battery cost, but I'm trying to get friends into RC. And buying a 250 CDN used TL01 RTR (that's the cheapest RC car I've been able to find... yup, that's used) is waaaay to high for most people except the most avid hobbyists (like myself).

Suggestions?
