Default RE: Which plane should be the next in my hanger?

ORIGINAL: Lotus72D

My Showtime is fantastic with a Saito 82, and my friend with the Funtana (& Saito 72) prefers my Showtime.
Both are good, the Showtime just does everything a little better, and looks better.
We have one club member flying his Showtime with an OS 61 2 stroke. Personally I would find either plane marginal with a .46...
I would have thought that before with most 46 size engines. However the AX is a 46 on steroids. I have two of them now, one in the afore mentioned Pulse and one in a Twist. I can hover the twist at quarter throttle. I have a Saito .72 in a GP Cap 232 and I definetly feel more power with the 46 AX. Maybe the 82 would be more comparable but I think the 46 AX will do the job. Seems most folks are pointed towards the Showtime.

Are you flying with or without the SFG installed, and what differences are there between the two setups?

Does anyone else have thoughts on either the Showtime or Funtana??
