Agreed.
The Allison engined Mustangs, though overshadowed by their Merlin powered cousins, were not extactly dogs. As I have mentioned before, the RAF's Mustang Is were the fastest aircraft in Europe below 15,000ft. when they went into service. There was simply nothing else that fast. Plus, they would be needed for a proper Med theatre expansion, as the A-36 was widely used, and to good effect, by the USAAF in North Africa.
