I've got the standard version, and wouldnt spend the extra for an rc, if you find the sweet spot theres probably 150 pretty level shots before poi changes, it is functional but the build is nowwhere near fx, typical hatsan pcp finish, you will need high mounts or a riser rail as the scope needs to be mounted high, but i'm pleased with mine in .22 although not very quiet, i think they should have made it a carbine, i'm planning on a handgrip and a smaller cylinder on mine, i dont need .5 litre of air on a gun.
