T-72 1989 or T-80B

What is the better option for a back-up in 10.7 line-up?
I have every russian tank, but one of the 2 has to go for the T-90. So im basically searching a 4th choice spawn.

The T72 has better armor, but the T80 is faster and has thermals.

T-80B is one of my favorite tanks, it also has somewhat decent reverse speed in comparison to other russian MBTs which can save you in many situations.

the 1989 is a good BACKUP for the T-80B, but the T-80B is just a better tank to use, so T-80B then get the 1989 and then you choose if you want Tunguska the T80U or the B3

Im running with T-80U, T-72B3, BMP-3, T-80B and Tungus atm.
I just researched T-72 89 but im not sure if i should even put it in the line-up.

with a lineup like that you don't NEED it at all, but it could be decent as a last resort, i personally do the ♥♥♥♥ tank first and good tank last but, you know

T80B is the better vehicle, it's faster and has thermals.

Personally I much prefer the extra armour of the T-72B to having thermals, though the reverse speed of the T-80B is nice.

I only have bad experiences in the T-80B
