The best 3D for 2004 will be the Carden 40% cap232... Always will be.
I've tried them all and the old cap is the best, period.

This is the first time I've tried to upload photos but if it works below will be a photo of my old fiberclasics 40% extra and one of the 5 caps that I've owned. This one was originally Frank knoll Jr.'s cap that he won the masters with in maybe 99 or 2000. I'm flying in these pics.

There is never a best plane. Everyone thinks they own the best stuff, plane, motor, servos lol. Its just personal opinion.

My vote right now is a 44" Foamy Factory Extra 330s that can fly like a 40% Carden Edge 540

Well I'm hoping the Extreme Flight Yak and Wild Hare 36% Extra 330LX are good performers. Yeah I know the Extra is on the heavy side!
The Capiche does look good. I have never seen one fly yet.

After seeing a Capiche 140 fly this weekend (and flying at the same time as one) I would say the Capiche 140, IC or leccy version.
