Default AKM SU-27 Flanker vs GP Patriot XL

Hi there,
I am planning on getting myself either of the above planes and use the SJ 90L for power, but would like to know which one of these models would be the better choice.
Have any one of you guys flown these before and what did you think? I don't want to buy something that I might dislike later or that has nasty tendencies.
Looking forward to all replies.

You will be happy with either airframe. Both fly very well. Building time is about the same .

Personally, I just like the say the SU-27 looks

I followed the build thread of the Su, I must say that the looks of the plane does it for me, the Patriot look to much straight forward.
I think I have settled with the SU, also need to rework the control linkage like Rich did on his.
Only waiting for my bonus check then I'll please the order for the Jett and SU.
