Recommendation for a complete newbie

Hello team,

I am totally inexperienced in UAV / UAS, and I've been watching two alternatives for business purposes research (agriculture, electricity and gis), I hope their recommendations.

The cost of each is:

3DR X8       $ 2,684.97

MR4 Tarot   $ 2,231

Basically share many features of 3DRobotics, but does not specify the MR4 Average flight time.

Option # 2 - http://uav-america.3dcartstores.com/MR4-Tarot-with-PixHawkGPSTelemetry--RTF-or-BnF-Unlimited-Waypoints-Ground-Station-Follow-Me-RTH-Auto-Tune-and-MORE-Ready-to-Ship_p_119.html
