FX sails and some questions

has anyone purchased FX sails (sold here at Sailnet??) I am in the market for new sails and am interested in your thoughts?? Has anyone dealt with Bill James at FX?? He seems very knowledgable from the few talks I''ve had with him.

Also a question for you all. If you could only affors to get one laminate sail for next saeson would you rather have a laminate headsail or main??

It depends on the condition of the existing sails and the specific design of the boat....
In a general sense if fractionally rigged mainsails are more important but if masthead rigged than the genoa is more important.
