Default Staggered vs Trips

I'm looking at buying a larger Lightning than I currently have (either a 42 or 47) with big power. Which set up will handle better?

The triple boats that I have been in only has trip 525. How would a trip 850 or more handle when compared to a staggered set up?

The Stag Setup Would Run A Lot Better.

Thank you. I want the boat to handle perfectly, and don't mind sacrificing some top speed for something that handles as if it was on rails.

Do you know of any used 47 Lightnings with a big (1300 HP +) motors for sale?
