For the past 3 years, the Mavic has been my weapon of choice, and more recently, the M2 series. I cut my teeth on Phantoms, and honestly, I dont miss Phantoms too much. I decided to take a Phantom 3 Standard up for a fun flight today, and it was like flying a Trex heli compared to flying a Mavic. It drifted, swayed with the wind, was slow, and landed "approximately" where I took off from. I exhaled deeply upon landing.
That being said, if you have a relic Phantom sitting around, there is absolutely no reason to sell it as long as it still flies well and the battery has been maintained. Flying a P3S is like driving a car with no power steering or brakes, and a standard transmission. It will help you hone your Mavic skillset, and appreciate your newer drones that much more. The P3S camera is good enough for a photography hack like me!
