Has anyone flown both of these kites ? Would a 7m C4 give me any more noticeable bottom end compared to 6m cat.

Finding my 6m catalyst just bit to small. Great for downwinders but hard work every other session I have had in Perth or SW WA (was great in gero). Already have a 9m C4 so was thinking a 7m might work.

in my experiences man in general c-kites need about +2 meters squared to match the bottom end of delta kites, top end is pretty much reversed but dont expect them to use that power identically.. very different kites.

The 2011 and 2012 C4 will have more bottom end than the 2011 or 2012 Catalyst 6M.
