Default RE: E-Flite or Hangar 9 Pattern or 'faux pattern' plane?

I'm liking the 3DHS Aspera more and more for the price and I probably have everything to put in it. MY LHS carries some Seb-Art stuff and they have one in stock that competes with the Aspera (can't remember the model) but it's around $100 more...a little rich for my tastes and I doubt it flies '$100 better'. I like the size of the WM Groovy 50 3a but would rather fly something designed for electric from the get-go so that I don't have to do as much re-engineering.

I'm a little tired of planes that are billed as 3D/precision as it never really works out well that way and I'm so not into 3D...I'd much rather be doing 500' loops and slow rolls from horizon to horizon. The closest I get to 3D are inverted flat-spins (which is still a scale maneuver) and the occasional brief hover but If I want to hover something, I'll just fly my heli.
