Hi JD,

- Overall the Silente will not be more difficult and I think would be easier, as the board is better and it glides onto the plane, whereas the LF has far more drag and the board feels too small.

- I had the high aspect front wing, but didn't get round to using it - but from what I have heard, it sacrifices low end performance for better high end speed & control

Although the LF & Silente are around the same price, imho & unbiased as I get no deal from anyone and neither do I have a Moses anymore, the Silente is unquestionably the better product.
