Default Flaps/No flaps...practical difference??

I transitioned from a flapped ship to an LS8-18. No regrets.
Unless you are flat out racing, the simplicity and predictability of a modern unflapped ship are wonderful to me. Only if going nose to nose at over 100 knots does this ship give anything up to a flapped ship.
