Which Flite efoil shall I buy?

Hi guys 🫡 I'm looking to buy my first efoil. During my research so far I've found out that Flite is the best option out there, I like how customisable they are, and comparing to Lift I've come across quite some advantages (propulsion location, customer service, durability, simplicity of assembly...).

Now if I go for Flite, which one shall I go for? I'm quite above the average size, 205cm (6'7) and 105kg (230p). I don't want to get bored on a long run, so I want to skip the basic "all-around" model and focus on performance, however I'm not sure how low I can go for when it comes to the volume.

I live by the ocean and I want to learn to catch some waves. I'm an intermediate surfer and a beginner kitesurfer, however no experience with a foil whatsoever.

So shall I go for PRO or could I also consider the ULTRA L (considering my weight)?

Anyone tried a folding propeller? Does it have any cons? Does it significantly reduce the drag once on the wave? And what about the carbon mast (wave C 82cm)? Is it worth the 1500€ extra?

Thanks for help. Any knowledge will be useful. I'll have my first lessons next week, however I don't want to spend too much money on the rental, if I'm buying my own soon after. 😎
