Twister MKII vs. Freestyle 2

Hi,

I want to start to get into acro flying, XC is getting too boring, ive been looking at some wings that i could get and the choices i have are the Twister MKII or the Freestyle 2, both of them seem to be good wings, ive contacted Apco about the twister and they say it performs quite well, the Freestyle 2 is a newer wing with about the same performance, but my question being, i want to get a good performing acro glider that i can thermal up in, but i also want something i wont grow out of too quickly, has anyone tried both of these wings, any advice about either would be very helpful.

Anyone could comment on it please?
How does it compare with Octane FLX as a beginner acro wing?
Is it suitable for everyday flying (glide, climb)?

26m Thriller 2K11 For freestyle use

Hi everyone
I have a dilemma with wing size. My take-off weight is 118-120kg (naked 95kg). I can do dead spiral, sat, high wing overs, tried loop, and helico up to 5 spins :( B-stalls, Butterfly etc. - not a total beginner (so far was using Advance Omega 5/26)
I consider FForce or Thriller both with size 26
Freeforce 26 (70-125kg) has a flat surface of 29m2 which is more than my Omega 8/29. I know that ratio/surface relation matters, but I don’t want end up with another full size wing like my XC wing.
