One thing that may help you in your decision is to ask what each plane's strengths are. Most all planes can 3D very well, but some will do certain maneuvers better than other and visaversa. Then judge what type of 3D flying you like to do and buy the plane that does it the best.

For instance, I keep my Magic around because it is a great flat spinning and hovering plane, but it can't do any knife edge maneuvers. My Extreme Flight Edge Knife Edges all day, KE loops and I enjoy it for that.

Ask the question again in the context of what maneuvers are strong for each plane and see if that helps.

Good luck!

Jim!
