i think they should have found some middle ground with the 22 and 35. cost is the driving force these days. i dont think people thought armed uavs would be so effective when the first started flying raptors back in the early 90's. my vote, in terms of effectiveness and cost is for one 5th gen ftr, a bunch of reapers (i hate to say this, but they are cheap and efficient), and the AT-6 to fill in the CAS/FAC-A/CSAR/etc holes.
