Deciding between front wheel drive and midwheel drive wheelchair

I'm trying to decide between a front wheel drive and midwheel drive wheelchair (Permobil F5 Corbus VS and M5 Corbus).
Not worried about driving either,I'll adapt. However, wondering if the F5VS will lend itself to UK communal areas, shops, restaurants and pubs etc...
Would welcome anyone's first hand experience.
Thanks one and all! 🕊❤️

I find midwheel to be more reactive & will turn on a sixpence, a cinch when manoeuvring on a bus for example. Saying that, I haven't tried the front wheel model that you're looking at, have tried others, but my preference is midwheel. If possible, see if you can test both.
