Martin is very happy with the Rabbit, it's a generation later than the Falcon with all the benefits that brings, improved efficiency, lighter, smaller and kero start. In terms of flight performance the Harpoon will have at least the same thrust/weight ratio, lower wing loading, etc.

Just curious since I never owned a Falcon...but is not a Falcon a 22 pound thrust motor and a Rabbit is a 19 or 20 pounder?
Unless you picked up the Falcon used and they then swapped it out...I think you got shorted.
From what you describe it was a nightmare turbine that never worked so I would think they wold have at least matched the power you were supposed to have with a Cheetah all things considered.
