After converting the stingray to a self tacking jib when we added the spinnaker I would say don't bother. The performance hit upwind is considerable so we actually returned back to our full size jib. At the moment the Taipan has been grandfathered with it's big jib so I would take advantage of this while it lasts. Gybing with the kite and the regular jib does require some extra planning but you get used to it.

The spaghetti on the trampoline is another matter and i know the jib blocks are further back on the tramp than the stingray but the taipan 5.7 i sailed it wasn't a problem. You can take the barberhaulers off which does save some tangling.
