You are right, it is a matter of personal preference. I'm not going to get into an argument with you. I know the opinions are very positive with the guys here in the states that have flown them, and they were very popular at the Worlds. I personally much prefer the Winds. I havent' seen any directional stability issues. I did however add the tail fences and it definitely locks a line in a cross wind better. Not sure what the wing fences will do when I get around to adding them,
