Default Elliptical Vs Swept Wing

Hello Everyone

After being out of the pattern game for a few years I have recently been bitten by the bug...again. Once more things have changed with the current design of airframes.

I am specifically looking at the purchase of a BJ Craft Anthem. My question to you guys is what, if any, differences are there in performance and/or handling between the elliptical and swept wing versions. I will start with the FAI A25 Advanced schedule with a potential move-up to FAI P25.

I would also like to ask if there are any glaring advantages pertaining to a contra vs a single propeller setup. I really like the concept of simplicity and less weight of the single prop but could be swayed.

As always your opinions are valued.

Cheers
