Default Super Skybolt ARF

I am still buying all the "extra stuff" to be able to finish a Skybolt ARF, I have yet to buy the plane but will be doing so soon so I do not have the manuel to view. I have the smoke system I am planning on using that was stated by MinnFlyer, I am going to be using a O.S.91 four stroke, and I am using the Futaba R168DF receiver and now to my question. What servos?

It is my understanding that the standard S3004 servo is to small or not strong enough. I read the reviews of the Skybolt where the S9001 were used and I am sure they will work perfect for me as well. But could I use the S3010 servos instead. The only reason I am looking at the S3010 servos are that it well save me $20.00 or so and the way I read it, if I am right in my thinking, the S3010 is rated 72(oz.-in) and the S9001 is rated 54(oz.-in.) so would this mean the S3010 is stronger or better. I am using the 4.8v system and I want to stay all Futaba if this will help.

Also if anyone can answer my question could you explain why one is better than the other, in plane english, so this way I can learn and understand the differance my self so that way I don't have to say I went with this servo because that was what I was told to use.

Also if you have any other information about something else I may want to change from what comes with the ARF please let me know, that may save me from posting again when I do get the ARF home and start looking at it.
