Short vs Long Stowaway?

I consider myself very lucky in that I received a F7 Stowaway from Astro-Physics last year. It is a wonderful scope that has excellent optics, however, I have always wanted to own the original F4.9 Stowaway due to the shorter physical lenght of the scope. The short lenght of the F4.9 Stowaway make it the ideal travel scope. On the other hand, I understand that the F7 Stowaway performs better than the F4.9 Stowaway.

What is everyone's opinion on these two scopes? Is there anyone that would like to swap their F4.9 for a new F7?
