Question Radio Strap and/or Tray Recommendation

Just started using the the thumb/index finger technique with my Dx6i. I like it. Now seems a strap or tray is in order. What should I be looking for (in features) or do you have any recommendations. I've seen trays for $40-$200, straps obviously less.

Again, I have a Spektrum Dx6i, and currently fly a Blade mCX2 and mQX (if the heli itself matters.

I'm just using the stock Spektrum DX8 neck strap and haven't had any complaints about it. Well made and somewhat heavy-duty.

Dx6i didn't come with a strap, but even so seems a tray might be more stable with the thumb/index finger technique.

But again, that's why I'm asking.

Anybody have an old one laying around?
