That is true, but the F-22 can basically do every mission the F-35 is designed for, and can dominate in the air-to-air role. There are some differences, such as the vertical take off for the F-35 in the Marine version, but the F-35 is slower and is not as agile. The price is probably what really sealed the deal. The F-22 runs something like $130 million per plane while the F-35 is like $40 or so. In a combat role, it will be the F-35 following in the F-22, especially to hit targets such as air defense and radar installations etc. The F-35 is a fine fighter, the F-22 just performs all of its roles (basically) better.Late edit: I see you addressed price above, which probably was a major issue in the decision.
