I like both, and not necessarily one more than the other, so I did not vote.
ARFs
If I want something soon
If I want to save money
If what I want is only available as ARF
Kits
If I want to take my time
If not available as ARF
If I'm in a "building" mood
I have noticed that crashing an ARF bothers me less than crashing a kit built model. The only attachment to the ARF is the money. A kit built has the money plus the time, so it hurts more when it breaks.
I feel the same way, I don't have much more time than a kit a year and some of the planes I like don't come in kits and some not in ARF but I do fovor the kit a little more. There is no better feeling than seeing something you put together take to the air and fly well.
