Max on our Moody 47 we have a 110 and a 130, when we were cruising full time we found the 110 to be a much better overall sail. More often than not we had at least 10 knots of wind speed the delta between the two was less than a knot of boat speed. As soon as we saw 15 apparent wind speed the 110 would fully power up. The loads on the lines and ease of tacking the 110 made it the sail of choice. We also have a staysail that is hank on and it lived on deck for longer passages and we would use it when we were reaching and wanted a little more power. The asymmetrical would come out if the wind was light and on a longer passage. Hope this helps
