I think upgrading existing technology should keep us competitive in the global market while keeping relative costs down.

Take the F-15 for example..What would happen if we added the engines and radar of the F-22 and threw in the forward canards and thrust vectoring?

Competitive at the very least!

Sure build some F-22's just to keep that edge while maintaining and upgrading what we know already works for 90% of all situations.
