Why not just make everything jets?

Oh, I didn't know that. I assumed the 8 and 16 were Griffons. Should have done my homework.

The Griffon engined Spits were:

Spitfire Mk XII
Spitifre Mk XIV
Seafire Mk XV
Seafire Mk XVII
Spitfire Mk XVIII
Spitfire Mk XIX
Spitfire F.21
Spitfire F.22
Spitfire F.24
Seafire F.45
Seafire F.46
Seafire F.47

All other Spitfires/Seafires had a Merlin engine of one kind or another.  The Spitfire Mk XVI is just a Spitifre LF.Mk IX powered by an American build Merlin 266 instead of the LF.Mk IX's Merlin 66.  They have the same performance.  The Spitfire Mk VIII in AH has a Merlin 66.
