FYI, I think pricing on the UB classic might have been altered to be in line with the Evo, but I'm not 100% on that yet. The UB Evo at 8+ pounds lighter than my classic Ultra is seriously an impressive option. The updates to the design as a whole are good enough that I've seriously considered getting an Evo to go alongside my classic. The fuse is 1-piece instead of splitting down the middle, and the top hatch is 2 pieces now.. It's just nicer overall IMO. The trailing link gear REALLY helps reduce shock loads transmitted to the airframe from less than perfect runways. Where my UB classic was bouncing the nose from running over the expansion joints on the runway while taxiing out at BitW, the Evo looked like it was taxiing on a putting green..

Either way though, the previous posts are correct.. Both of these airplanes require experienced pilots.. They are not difficult to fly per se, but they are unforgiving of bad flying.

Obviously representing BVM, I'd prefer you fly the UB Evo
