You'll be surprised what flex you'll be able to gain simply by removing the connection ribs between the right and left side of the sidepods - it still isn't very flexible, but it's a start. Also, I'm considering making some pieces that will increase flex from behind the front chassis, as well as some other nifty upgrades
That said, the B5M is an allrounder and you'll find it has crazy amounts of grip, which is absolutely awesome if you drive on a multitude of surfaces and conditions - I never felt that the B5M was missing the rear motor option on it like the 22 (and I should know... my club has a clay track).
Moving to the 22 2.0, I feel it's better if the grip is a little higher generally (as it seems to produce less rear end grip), and I think may be the 'conventional' mid-motor car to beat cars like the KF - though it does feel home on clay too - even in MM if you use the right setups.
Speaking of the KF, it's a very nice car, even on clay with some mods it went well (admittedly it was slightly moist clay, not dusty), though I do feel it loses out somewhat over 'normal' MM and RM cars. If you want one, I would wait until they release an updated version that make it a versatile car (instead of buying all the upgrades)
