Default sundowner 50 or 80"?

I really like the look of the downers and was thinking of putting one in the "hangar". Ive read the horror stories about the snapping. This would technically be my 4th plane. I beat the piss out of my nexstar, but it lives, Im doing ok with the GP minnow and learning the ropes of a quick taildragger. My 3rd plane is going to be a goldberg sukhoi with a 1.20 2 stroke. Its just waiting on some parts. What do you think about the sundowners? I would like the bigger plane as all of the rest of my planes are smaller in wingspan than the nexstar. But at the same time the cost to build a nice 80" downer would be a lot more. For now I would just like to buy a kit and pick an engine later. What would you do?

Thanks,
Erik
