I agree, sorry to be the bearer of bad news, but those choices have a high probability of hitting the ground quickly. Everyone wants to learn with something that looks sexy, but trainers were designed for a reason. They are necessary. Maybe try to find a local club and get in touch with one of their instructors. I am sure they will have a plane that you can fly to try it out.
I am a flight instructor with my club. If you were to approach me, seriously, I would give you a test drive. Good luck as well. You can use the AMA website to locate clubs in your area. Hopefully this helps
