Well, I don't have any info yet, but I like this question.
I think it is a shame that so much lit is focused on top end speed when there are many other factors to consider such as acceleration and performance brackets.
People will tend to overlook good planes for this reason.
I'll see what I can find, and hope that some other more knowlegable people will pitch in. It's funny that this sort of info is so easy to get when looking into race cars, yet so hard to find when comparing aircraft. Everyone knows that the car with the highest top end speed is not neccisarily the best for winning the race.
