I run Team C these days, so you can say it would be hard to peg me as an AE fanboy. The B44.2 as is, is a solid performer. I have some minor issues with it as does any driver with just about any car, but nothing would stop you winning a race with it.

Are there better cars out? Yes, though most of what is better is really personal driving taste. For me, I tried the 410, 44.2 and will be going to the TM4. Before that I've had a MR-BX, and well, many more.

You can do well with the 44.2 or the 44.3 if you want to stay AE. If not, try something else.
