Gotta suggest that there were a number of "Marks" of the Spit produced
and the later ones were clearly superior to the 109.


Sure. Early Spits were roughly comparable to Me-109 and
late Spits were roughly comparable to F-190/P-51/F-6s.

The Spitfire was not revolutionary, in the sense the
Fokker Eindekker or the Me-262 was.

I'm looking for revolutionary, not 'good'.
Fokker Eindekker


Agree--one wing and low drag.


And guns firing through the propeller arc. I believe that
was a very big deal.
