Slicer issue?

Hi 
recently upgraded my Mk3s+ to a 3.5 and the majority of simpler prints are fine. However, i was printing caps that required a fair amount of support with no issues. Thus far I've thrown three in the bin as the quality is now (insert own word)! Printed a short version with minimal support ad it was still cr@p. The decent print in the picture was from my Mk3s+ and was probably sliced using 2.6.x The cr@p versions were using 2.7.4  

Tried downgrading the slicer but seems a nightmare using an early version(2.6) with the Mk3.5. can't see any pre-set configuration for the printer. 

The model prints perfectly on my Ender S1 Pro using Cura. 

My gut feeling is that its a slicer issue!. Thoughts? Help? Pointers? 

Beginning to wish I hadn't upgraded this printer as its made it worse!

Well, will you look at that!....

Part on the left sliced using 2.7.1 using a Mk3S+ config as that slicer doesn't seem to have the 3.5 configuration. Printer accepted it and printed in compatibility mode. Not perfect, or as good as the part from the Ender using Cura, but more acceptable than the cr@p on the right!

Seems I'll have to use the Ender to print these parts until Prusa get their act together with software updates, rather than future downgrades!
