To the best of my knowledge, Lemon and Orange are about in the same price range (typically ~$15.00 to $20.00 for a basic 6-ch). Then you get into the stabilized ones and the higher channel ones and they can get up to $25.00 to $30.00. Visually, the Orange is a bigger box. The Lemons are smaller, more compact and some don't even have a case. They just have all their guts hanging out, which really doesn't matter since they're hidden inside the plane. Both are just as reliable (which is very reliable). I've had more "incidents" with my Spektrum RXs. Both Orange and Lemon had a somewhat shaky start, but so did Spektrum back in their early days.
From what I've seen, Lemon has had more publicized beta testing from some very knowledgeable and qualified people. Whereas Orange development and testing has been "behind the scenes". I don't doubt that both derive their components from similar sources. But then, it's also likely that Spektrum components and manufacturing come from the same sources, too.
I prefer Lemon for their compactness, although I like Orange because they are "pretty". (Not very logical at all.)
