I would caveat the rental sets by noting that you don't have the option of choosing which pats are equipped, which could make a lot of difference. A poorly equipped Lvl 10 super plane fairing similar to a well equipped standard plane is still a rasonable difference in performance.

That being said, none of them particularly "wowed" me either. Granted, I'm used to flying about a Lvl 11 X-02, and have the XFA-27 standard at lvl 7, and HH at lvl 10, my personal standards of performance are a bit different from the average player who is more accustomed to F-15s and Su-35s. But my Vanilla XFA-27 isn't going to get any more money, I may boost the HH version to lvl 15, and might... might... put something into getting the R-101 Neucom to 7-10. Is it worth it? No. But they're not likely to add much interesting to the game going forward, so I'll slowly fritter away the in-game credits I've got. Everyone says that was PA's intention for these planes. I think that's a terribly stupid idea, but oh well. Just don't bother betting on any dramatic change in the cost dynamics of these planes - a price drop or a large boost in awarded credits is not likely to happen.
