Thinking on this one since the higher one is on back order

Or should I wait for the other one to get off backorder?

    Edgar,

        Yes, the default sonar is the XL EZ0.  You definitely want ot pick one of the sonar's ending in EZ0 because they have the widest beam and longest range which is good for alt hold.

         If you don't want to wait around for the MB1200 to come back into stock, the MB1260 is actually a little better.  It's got a 10m range instead of 7m although in ArduCopter, we don't take advantage of the extra range anyway..but we might in the future.
