Default Which engine for 1/3 pup

My 1/3 pup is about ready to set up and cover but I'm not sure which engine to use. I was originally going with a dle55 and adding nose weight, afraid it will be underpowered. Then I thought why not a dle111 and no weight. I know thats overkill. Then theres the da85 which has the "da" price tag. I'm not really a fan of zenoah engines either. I will buy either one new. I like the 55 idea and I dont want to rip the plane apart with the 111. Ive only seen videos of the 1/3 scale fly, mostly with g62s and they look scary underpowered. I'm not dogging any make of engine here, just looking for input. Thanks
