In this market if you are a buyer and want a 35, get the twin step (either one) and skip the Ex. The twin step hull is a benchmark. The Ex is nice, but basically buying much older tech.

Twin steps...free speed too.

Read the title and thought Apache. LOL. But now I see your using the F word. Staggered has the best balance hands down.
