Since you talked about maybe incorporating the fins / landing legs like the Starship has on the booster, can we expect the booster to belly flop and bleed off velocity through atmosphere more effectively like Starship? Or will it come back engines first like F9?

Booster center of mass is much lower & more consistent (no payload mass to consider), so still biases towards engine first entry
