Based on data I believe historically the Mk1a would have actually been a bit quicker on the deck, but having them exactly the same speed is arguably within historical range and makes for satisfying online experiences.

I agree 100%. I would prefer the devs give us FM's that fit the historical anecdote of the battle, yet are fun & challenging to fly online. The three major fighters should each have distinct advantages/disadvantages & be competitive when flown to their strengths. It will be impossible to get 100% realism so at least give us something that feels right and is fun to play for both sides.
