Default Corsair.....H-9 or KMP?

I'm in a quandry as to which ARF to purchase.
The Hangar 9 is a covered built-up plane compared to the KMP which is a fiberglass fuse and mid-section.
Both have rotating retracts, but feel the H-9's will need replacing!?
KMP's is a bit larger, but size isn't the issue.
I have heard reports on fiberglass fuses 'bubbling' in the sun.
Also, from the pics I've seen of KMP's the outer section of the wings don't match, color wise, to the center section.
I'm leaning towrds the KMP due to the fact it has flaps, although I'm concerned with the fiberglass 'bubbling' problem.
The cost will be the same , at least reasonably close, if I need to replace the landing gear on the H-9 which does not have flaps.

I could build a TF kit, but the last one lasted only 3 minutes!!...LONG STORY
