That STOVL version looks incredible, though!

You're right, they are different planes, and yes, they will have different roles. However, they are both 5th generation fighter aircraft with hella great capabilities. Each one carries a ton of missiles (or bombs, or combination). Imagine also, how awesome it is in the F-35 that you can look down at your feet or behind your seat and you see the ground! Yes, you see THROUGH the aircraft because of multiple sensors and cameras throughout the airframe! I am going to get that for my Z. Should fix the blind spots!
