Martin what a fun airplane!
Standard battery life on the drift is not great so the remote (if within range) is a big help.
Yes the new pricing on the drift makes me want to take a look at a second one. Sometimes it's nice to have matching units for accessories etc. but I did want to play with the Contour too.
First things first, His/Hers Galaxy Nexus is under the tree.

I don't know how the Drift HD170 Stealth goes showing an EFIS display, though I will be finding out in a week or so, but for steam gauges it is great.
I have mounted it on the wing ( a bit further forward than most so I get the u/c) and used it as a helmet cam. Both work great. And the wireless remote is really useful, as is the ability to rotate the lens. Remember, it only cost $159
Here are a couple of You tube links that will give you an idea, and despite not using it in HD1080 mode, just the regular 720, the pictures are excellent - especially when the camera is played back on the big screen TV ! The only criticism I have at this stage is the funny things it does to the prop.
Here is a landing from the wing :http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dWXHznnvLD4

FWIW,

Since we are beating a dead horse. The Drift 170 for $159 from B&H includes a 1750 mAh "long life" battery. My original purchase included an 1110 mAh not so long life battery. Nice bonus.
