Which 2011 kite? Bandit4 or Rebel ?

I’m in beginner-intermediate level, riding straight, back and forth, also upwind.
What 2011 kite will I enjoy more? F-one Bandit4 or North Rebel?
Important kite characteristics for me are the kite wind range, kite forgiveness, ease of use, safety
Also what size should I buy? (I weight 90Kg)
TIA

I really like the North bar and disliked the F-one bar I used ... it broke :o I prefer the Bandit over the Rebel though :D although I see LOTS of problems with relaunch and behavior on the ground of the delta kites ... they spend a lot of time falling out of the sky and either not launching or rolling directly downwind and THEN launching.

That's all anecdotal though ... except for the bar comment ;) FWIW
