F35 vs Typhoon

I assume both the F-35 and Typhoon cost the same?? So put the two them in the air against each other – it could be a possibility in 2020 or so, depending on who’s buying what these days and the state of global politics.

Some rules: 1)Lets say for the sake of this discussion the Typhoon is the full capabilty 2008 model with electronic radar and max engine thrust – I think its project at 24 000lbs a piece or so.
2)No shooting on the runway or blasting hardened shelters, just old fashioned air to air.
3)Statistically Air to Air works out to 30% dogfighting and 70% BVR – please bear this in mind.

My money is on the F-35 because of it stealth advantage. Disagree??
