For me there is only one choice, the YAK 11. However both aircraft have their advantages and disadvantages. The YAK is rarer particularly in stock configuration hence it commands a higher price, the downside of this is that some parts are now very difficult to come by. The handling and performance of the YAK are said to be superior to that of the T6 (personally never flown one, just worked on both types, and enjoyed flights as a passenger) Maintenance and operation of both types is fairly straight forward when once you familiarise yourself with their different systems.
Personnaly I prefer the YAK's looks and character, and feel that it's still a very underated machine, particularly with the majority of airshow organisers in the UK, who I feel don't know what their missing out on.
