I'm saying though that the Spitfire II will also be very maneuverable, as a trade off for lower speed.

But really, the biggest plus for the Spit II is unit cost: the IKN and IKAF won't need to pay nearly as much per aircraft as the ECD will for the F-65. And they will still get a superb aircraft with aerospace capabilities. (Actually I forgot to mention this, but there's a pair of maneuvering gyros for aerospace flight mounted in the P-99)
