I think Nells should be prioritiesd, as we have Bettys.
I just feel that the Nell is not that useful when we put it in context of the entire war. It was successful early on but was otherwise overshadowed by the Betty. As it stands we have one fairly early model Betty with the modified tail stinger but right now it's being used in scenarios that span the entire war. Dropping in a Nell leaves us in the same position.

No doubt... a very interesting plane but of limited usefulness across the range of dates and scenarios.
