The loose footed main is more adjustable and prefered on most racing applications. If it is cut with excessive foot material it will hang lower than the boom improving the performance , increasing the aspect ratio. Disavantages are that you may catch it on your head or it may flutter in a breeze. No major difference when reefing. The quotes that I received from North did not have a price difference. Check out what is hot in the one design groups if you plan to race.
