Default Which Airframe?

I need some help making up my mind here. I want to buy a new plane this winter. I've narrowed it down to two options. TTOC 40% 260 or a Hangar 9 35% 260. For either one I will have to buy an engine/prop/exaust, but i have all the servos to out fit the H9, and only a few short of the TOC. I've never owned a 40% but have flown a few i have felt the difference. However my 35% planes are nice to fly as well (and i hear great things on the H9). So the big question do you think it is worth it to spend the extra cash on the 40%? Why?

Personally for IMAC I prefer a 40%. I use to prefer it for freestyle, but after flying a 32%er for free I am enjoying it more. You just got to remember the bigger they are the more there is to carry at the field. I wouldnt say the more that could go wrong, because you can set up a 40% with about the same set up as a 35%. If you have the money go 40%, but the cost difference is a lot!

Good Luck!

The TTOC 240 is a nice flying plane,, I would buy the TT over the hangar 9 in either size as if you strip off the covering you will find the TT is a better built plane..

The H9 extra is an awesome plane but a 40%er is a 40%er...
