The shortcoming with the Eurofighter is the absolute certainty that every last one of the secrets concerned with it were long ago communicated to the Russians and the Chinese. The F-35 is not so wonderful, IMHO, as it is the economy fighter that tries to do too many things at once and does none of them in a superior fashion.
Hate to say, but for now I'd be more inclined to order another run of the CF-18 and update the avionics so they can carry the newer payloads.
Yeah, the F/A-18E Super Hornet would be my first choice too.
