I do have one question after reading through all 30+ pages. After all of the different member tests can you guys definitively recommend the fatshark 250 over the immersion 600 as far as the transmitter goes?
I just got my P2 and want to purchase all of my Fpv gear tonight. And was convinced I was going with the immersion rc with a BP and Iosd UNTIL I stumbled upon this thread that wrapped my head in a different direction today. If you were starting from scratch and had to chose between the Irc600mw and the Fatshark 250 which would you go with?
Thanks again for everyone's contributions and time. It's much appreciated.
P.S. I'm not looking to break any records or long range work... Just looking for reliability and ability to frame good video.

I can't say from experience yet, but I had the same concerns as you and ordered all my fvp gear yesterday. I went for the IRC600 and Black Pearl + Black Hawk antennae (and iOSD, connecting cables etc).
The reason I bit the bullet: it has become apparent that the original issues some people were having were to do with antenna. The helical type seem to best with this set up. At the end of the day, the 600 is 350mW more powerful than the 250 so should work better for long range as it kicks a out more powerful signal. Shimpy has reported very good results since he got his Black Hawk gear.
If you want to hang on a bit longer I'll post up my results asap.
