As it is, we have the Chog at 8 perks (and Hogs are not to every one's taste), then you have a giant leap to the Ta-152.
We need a bunch of cheap perks at around the 5 - 15 perk range.
Because don't forget the satisfaction of achivement. Don't forget the thrill of your first kill, nor the excitement of your first perk ride.
It's addictive. And I honestly believe that a policy of having (for example, don't get bent out of shape) the P-51 B free, and the P-51-D at say, 5 perks would have an effect on gang bang culture.
We need more perk planes flying. Not neccesarily uber late war monsters, but something just a little better for the average pilot to aspire to on squad nights etc. Something that's priced around a level that means you'd need very slightly more than a one to one K/D to keep flying it, other wise perk points erode and you'd need to drop back to the "standard" ride.
Kind of like dressing up for Saturday night 
There really isn't much to spend the perks on, and it seems everyone ends up hoarding a bunch of perks. There are some extremely capable planes that are not perked at all - your pony B and Pony D idea is a good example of an alternative way.
Perks are a great system. I flew Aces High without perks back in the day, and it was not interesting to me at all. I would like to see the system explanded to include more aircraft - not just expensive ones. Just something to PERHAPS make people care a bit about dying. Even if only 2 or 3 perks, at least there would be a cost to where someone might tend not to HO someone 10 times in a row.
