Crikey! $500, no wonder you are upset! I just came off a CMP 120 size F4U BARF when I built mine, so it seemed quite nice at the time! Can't get the seagull P47 here (that I know of anyway), Horizon really likes charging a premium for the H9 razorback and doesn't want to introduce something better priced into the market. Hang in there with the TF, it really does look nice when its done, and remember when it first came out most of the other warbirds on the market at the time were shiny and stand(way)off-and-then-squint-scale. Let us know how it goes!
