Default BobCat Elevator Servos - Advice Please?

I'm finishing my BobCat XL and planned to install Airtronix 94141 servos on the elevators. When I powered them up, I was not happy with the holding power, but understand the servos work fine in this application (per Frank T. - any thoughts, Frank?). I've been advised by a trusted friend to install JR 3421 or JR 8417 instead. BVM plans show JR 3301 which are out of production (replacment is JR 3321). Problem: which ones are best for this particular applicaton? 8417's are digital, and have the same physical size as the 8411's but don't have the same torque (also big and heavy for the tail surfaces). 3421's are digital, small (fit into the servo cavity's) but are down on torque (65 oz) and seem to have a reliability problem (as related by others on this forum with rudder/gyro use).

Any thoughts/suggestions/recommendations are appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

Les
