I said Spitfire XVI, not XIV, which is a bigger difference than the numbers make it look. You're right though, a XIV is an even better energy fighter than the 109K, so that wouldn't really be evening out anything
The XVI is basically a Packard Merlin engined IX, and I want it because the Birds of Prey version has a cutdown rear fuselage and bubble canopy that the BoP version of the IX doesn't have. Not really anything else to pick between them, because the Rolls Royce and Packard versions of the Merlin are pretty much the same and a real life IX can have all the same features as a XVI.
