Why would you buy anything else ;-)

Because the other (F15 and Rafale) are not grounded every two
weeks

Hate to spoil your "fun" but neither are the Typhoons - unless
we've got remote control ones at work. They seem to be flying
quite regularly.....

So I wonder why they did not compete with the F-15 and the Rafale at
the beginning of the year ...
In fact I'm wrong, there was a static replica of the Typhoon.

I think they didn't compete due to the development program at that time.
Instead, they Singapore team came over to the UK, and flew from Warton (and
from what I've heard from teh aircrew, they were very impressed)
