You cant go wrong with either of these. I have both and flying them for over a year, and love them equally. IMO the advantage with the Edge is the removable 2 piece wings which are easier to haul around than the big 66 inch wing on the extra. Both are highly aerobatic, tumble very nicely, and once you have a feel for them pretty easy landing. The edge actually lands better than many trainers Ive had as you can get it slow enough. It is also more sensitive on the elevators but can be tamed with expo and rates. I did a couple of mods including switching to larger wheels, and installing tail struts. Both are using 91fxs with low pitch props which give them excellent vertical authority and good slow speed characteristics.
