Yours may handle a bit nicer if for no other reason than my Vitus was crashed once by the previous owner in competition and once by me because I did something really stupid. The frame may be just a tad out. It's no big deal, plus I'm not about to start bending a bonded frame — if I could ever find the 1/2 degree it's out. I'd really like to try an Alan someday to compare.
