From what I heard, both planes aren't great. Again, the Zens, Tai-Ji, stream 50, would all be good ARFs. I am sure if you ask your flying buddy, he would have designed a couple that are being kitted. I know that ZNLINE are making a 90 size Synergy 3D too, which would be a great choice. Good for knock around, sunday flying, as well as an entry in AA, and a practise F3A ship. What more could you want!!!
Hope this helps.
