IF you want to see a battle of tech verses utility, just look at the B-1 v B-52
The B-52 is projected to still be in service after the B-1 is retired. The B-52 is slower, has a radar sig that is similar to a large building, and is hardly state of the art and yet it keeps on going.
Maybe the answer is some hi tech for high risk situations, and low tech for low risk situations???
