The other problem with the Beryll is that it is 3000US, the Focus is only 749.00. The Glow version is not available yet either. The Focus will comfortably fly the Masters sequence and flies the lower classes better than the Beryll, simply because it is not as tall and doesnt crab into the wind as badly as the newer birds. The new planes are designed for F3a, not the lower classes, sometimes the latest and greatest F3A ship isnt the best for the lower classes,

The Beryll is a great flying plane, however the Focus is more than enough for anything but the new FAI schedules.
