Hi C.C.S.

I hope that you do not mind me butting in!

I have to say that the choice will depend (as has been said) on what you currently use and what you are planning on using it for. I would find it hard to recommend the Flat Stiff for general window cleaning use as it would be a lot harder work cleaning windows with - however if you have and really like the Super-Lite Single Trim brush then you would probably also like it.

For standard window cleaning a dual-trim brush will usually be a lot easier and faster to use and will also usually scrub the glass better. The medium is a good choice for most users - however my favourite is the DT soft as it is just so easy to use.

I'm wanting to order one too, it will be my main brush and replacing my vikan sill (mono) because a lot of my round is wooden sash and find that only the bristle profile of a sill brush really gets into the corners and tops of the lower panes. Its got to be good at shifting bird poo stains too, which one ?

The Vikan sill (mono) is a fairly soft bristled brush so either the Dual-Trim soft or the Dual-Trim medium would be a good match. The dual-trim pattern will give the best shape splay for reaching all of the awkward bits on window frames etc. - My personal recommendation would be the soft one.

Our current Fan-jets will not fit the new Radius-Sill brushes, due to the shape of the stock. We do have new fan-jets in production that will be a simple push-fit upgrade using the standard jet holes. When these are available they will be offered as a selectable option on these brushes.
