Go for it! I had F-18 as well before I bought Falcon. Both are very good
but I think Falcon is significantly better than F-18.

-Falcon has real air to ground scenarios against SAM sites, runways, truck
convoys etc. 
-The MIGs in Falcon are more playable against. I found F-18 MIGs were one  
of two kinds, sitting ducks or very difficult. In Falcon you actualy 
get into real dog-fights, twisting, turning etc.

There are other plus's to Falcon over F-18. It is a must buy if you like
F-18! Fear not, about the bucks you will put down for it, it is not
a turkey like A-10 or some of the psuedo-simulations like "Combat Pilot".
