Code 980s vs F-one

I'm looking at changing brands to either. 86kgs+ gear intermediate foiler. I made the mistake of trying a F-one seven seas & loved it. I'm a bit put off by the f-one fuse connection so am interested in how the code 980s stacks up against it. I don't really want to go into the current F-one fuse debate, more after feedback about the code.
Currently riding a konrad LX970 on axis gear but want more glide & the seven seas has it in spades. Has anyone tried both? otherwise how is the glide on the 980s. I'm winging in 13-18 knots with the intention of getting a PW next season.

I have both F One and the Code 980s. My view the 980 is maybe around the old 1200SS. Code may have better glide, F One more predictable. With F one I would keep the 1400s as it is a very good allrounder and good in light wind. If you want more speed I would look at the Sk8s and they also turn better. I have the 1150 sk8 as my light wind big foil but it can do anything with the ss mono tail. I haven't tried the new improved v2 sk8s but that would be a good choice. You don't need to buy a mast and may have tail already.

I am now in the position where I have Code, F One and KT foils. Everything has got pretty good now with the foils and most of the differences are small between brands. I am hanging on to this equipment to be ready to make a change with minimal cost, vs selling now at a low price and then starting afresh.

The best thing is to ride each foil back to back and you will get a good feeling about what way to go. I did this recently with KT and AFS Enduro over 3 hour period with 4 foils.

I had 1050/850 sk8 and I now have 980/720s.

They are directly comparable in terms of lift, the codes have better glide, speeds similar, turning the sk8 is out of the box better, but playing with fuse length and tails I've got the codes pretty similar. The f one HM mast is slipper than the code. I got a oneoceansports carbon mast and adapter which is now slipper than the f one.

I'm 83kg and with midlength hi and low boards, I think I could cope with 850/615s as a quiver.

I've foiled the 980S and Eagle 990, both have similar sink rate and glide. The difference is the Code 980S can actually turn and is much more lively in pitch.

The Code S series is in no way comparable to a seven seas.

...and there's certainly nothing wrong with Axis

Code foils have the same type of mast/fuse connection as Cabrinha. Maybe Code worked something out, but the carbon wear in my Cabrinha's mast/fuse connection made it quite loose. (Yes, it can be ameliorated by applying a layer of glass periodically, but I was too lazy).

It's really a personal thing which one you might like more. The Code 980 has excellent speed and glide, should be a lot better than the Seven Seas on paper. I never found an F-One foil I loved, went from Takuma to Cloud IX to AFS on my journey.

Code S, way better than f one 7S, no discussion.

Should I switch from my Duotone glides?

Hi!
I try to warm up this discussion a bit. What's the best Surffoil now? KT nomad, code s, code x, Fone sk8, afs silk, duotone Crest, newArmstrong MA or FliteLab Flux? Or... Unifoil aggression ???

I jump my SS 1200 all the time, I'm 85kg, not broken any bolts. Prefer jumping the SS to my Sk8 850, can't really explain why, just a feeling. Had a Phantom 1480 for three years and jumped that too, broke two bolts and threaded one Titan mast foot but never lost the plane.
