EFT also is a good choice.

T 3 is very expensive but there can be some T 1's .

As we all know, Pakistan cooperates with China in the JF-17 project, and very likely in its fifth-generation fighter project.
If PAF also buys J-10C, it means to put all its fighters into China's basket.
So, I guess PAF would prefer other options.

Yep, just like PA and PN.

There's an offer on the table. That would shape future Pak-sino-rus alliance.

You think Russian will contribute in PAF needs in upcoming future ?..

Makes sense with a russian engine. Look out for increased thrust on RD93/ other engines are also possible. The Solid russian produce would be problematic for infrastructure management but a hybrid solution maybe on the way. JUST SAYING.
My own opinion so take it or leave it.

Will take too long. Think a win win solution might be to carry on working up a semi complete project and use both Countries to outsource their best produce. The solution then will come on time and on budget and make up the weaknesses of one supplier by taking a strong produce of the otherone. If it works then the produce getssold and everyone is happy. This is my brain telling me how to do it the smart way.

Larger wing span if I am not mistaken. So more fuel. But does it translate into more hardpoints??

Larger wing span = more lift = more drag

and no it cannot translate into more hand points, that is a different beast altogether.
