Maybe they both flew the Spitfire so much that they knew it the best and decided not to change things up at the last minute in a competition. Just because two random dudes chose to fly it over the La-7 in a particular fight, doesn't mean the La-7 has no advantages over the Spitfire. There could be any number of explanations, and their endorsement of the Spitfire IX doesn't necessarily mean anything.

Edal favours the Spit but Mirgervin up till then flew the LA. In practice he decided the Spit had enough firepower advantages at head-on's over the LA to go with that instead. You're both comparing the LA with B'n'Z planes when B'n'Z is ostensibly weak in this game. You take a 190 into a 1v1 dogfight with a Spit or a LA in this game and you'll lose pretty much everytime. The 109K is the only B'n'Z prop plane that is decent to fly.
