On the way to help you in your question, I will tell you that these articles clarify things to you:

I add my personal opinion. I currently own F-111 and Ultralite. Basically the Ultralitle open faster than the F-111, so if your equipment is oriented to slider off jumps, it will be useful.

A great pro is the difference in weight and volume, specifically in Apex canopies.

Too the Ultralitle is much easier to fold.

But in summary, if you are a jumper who takes great care of the canopy at the landing and picking it up, do not think about it, buy an ultralite. If on the contrary you do not take many precautions and are tending to land on bushes, buy an f-111.

They will flare and fly the Equal.
