Default Scat Cat rebuild or Weston Magnum

So as some of you may remember, I have a clipped wing Scat Cat with a YS 45 rear exhaust. Its definetely getting old and loose. Lost an aileron to flutter the other day. It really needs to be rebuilt but I am having a hard time deciding what I want to do so I thought I would get all your thoughts. I currently am looking at a rebuild but maybe tapering the wings and reducing the tail feather sizes buy 10-15%. OR. Go with a Weston Magnum, but I know very little about the Magnum. How would one perform with a YS 45 Rear exhaust and tuned pipe? What kind of speeds would I possibly expect with said setup. Are they any good and how would a fella like me in the middle of Kansas get ahold of one? Thanks.
