It's easy to see the practical attractiveness of Rafale over Typhoon. Being built by one country, with one main contractor, Rafale has acheived far more of its design capability in less time than Typhoon. India knows it won't have to put up with the riciculous in-fighting that has almost cost Typhoon its very existance over the years. If I were them, I would take a lot of convincing to go for a jet with promised capabilities over one that already has them. Especially given all the broken promises and missed milestones over the years.
