Default First gas engine?

Looking for some (more) advice on a first petrol (gas) engine. I've been building and flying for 35 years, so no newcomer, but never bigger than a .90 glow. Now I've bought a Sig clipped wing Cub kit and want to try petrol. Glow fuel costs about 25$/gallon here.

My first thoughts were to get a G-26, but now I've sen the MVVS 1.6 and wonder which would better suit my needs. I want the Cub to fly in a scale-like manner, reasonable aerobatics as per the full-size, but not a hovering 3D monster. I would also like to be abel fly it with floats.

My most important criteria are economy and ease of operation.

Any suggestions?
