Which one you prefer??wunat:I know about the benefit of a donut wing. But just curious is there anyone who actually prefer the Explorer over Evolve?

The Evolve is NOT a friend to AL80s. It is nice with steel doubles. Al tanks do NOT need ANY lift at the bottom. The monkey wrench here is the weightbelt. So if you are using steels, or ALs with a weightbelt, the lift at the bottom of the wing is really trying to cope with that. I wear no weight with my AL80s, so ANY lift at the bottom is very problematic. I have to wear a tailweight on my BP.
That is probably the ONLY instance I would choose the Explorer over the Evolve.
