This is a lot to think about and I've learned a ton. Thanks for all the insight. I really appreciate the multiple perspectives.

I'd echo staying on the 99 a bit longer. I spent about 10 sessions learning on the 84 before getting the Armstrong 1850 rig. I was glad to have the 84 prior to the 1850 and I still really love the ease of use and turning of the 1850 despite owning a few HA foils.  The 2400 is really a foil to use a few times as a complete beginner or heavy rider before stepping to an 1850 or smaller. I'd skip it and stay with the 99 until you feel dialled. I love the HA wings for fanging around and gliding but also appreciate the turning and ease of use of lower aspect wings.
6'5" 200 pounds. Armstrong HA1125, HA925, HA725, HS1850, HS1250 Foils. Armstrong 5'11" FG, Quatro WingDrifter 72L, KT 3m, 4m, 5m Armstrong V2 A-Wing 2.5
