Will be good to see how she stacks up against the Vanguard. Very interesting to hear they cheated a way to improve the view. Obviously, if you move the arms down enough so they no longer obstruct the view, the engines will be seriously off the thrust axis, but seems CIG won't care. This could make it a much better fighter than I expected it to be.
Sounds like she'll be more maneuverable than the Vanguard, but still less range with guns and fewer missiles. Depends upon how hard you want to fly it seems, but almost sounds like a long range Sabre without the limited stealth.
