I was considering buying that one for a year or more but went for a EF Leader 480 instead. The Leader is built-up and about the same size (an inch or two bigger). So the Sunrise would just be another plane in the class of the Leader.

They do make the Commander 40 which is the 40-sized pattern foamie. I think it's basically a foam version of the TaiJi (sp?) wood .40 pattern plane.

I'm going to think about either a .40 to .50 plane for the next few months. The Monolog 70 is on the short list. I really don't want to spend the $ on something real nice like a Sebart Wind 50 now, too much risk of losing it at our crappy field.
