Groo, I think you got a little something on your nose....
As to the question, flat blades if fought with properly tend to hit a little harder (less surface area), look better, last longer than funnoodle (built properly) and fly through the air faster. Thats not to say they dont have thier down sides: Its easier to make them wrong, its hard to make them safe (and pretty!), they tend to catch the wind (thowing off shot location), the rules regarding construction of them are VERY unclear.
I have made a few flat blades that im proud of, but the majority of the flat blades out there are not safe for use. WLS sells some that are okay, buy they tend to get complaints from non stickjocks.
