I've had two Valenta Saltos - the first was full carbon which i sold to a friend and wished i hadn't! The second is d box and still seems seriously strong - i think either would hold up to anything you could throw at them in the air.
My Swift is the 3.7m version and TBH i mostly bought it for sentimental reasons as it belonged to a friend who died but it is a lovely model any way with excellent fit and finish - but it's not fully moulded and imho is not in the same league as the Salto.

Lots to choose from!

Indeed. I think my current favourites are the Valenta Salto (not the X tail I was initially after, but otherwise fits the bill nicely) and the TopModel Swift - not sure which one, probably the 3.14. Better stock up before we have to pay import duty on these models!
Thanks to all for the thoughts and suggestions.
