Default Sig 1/4 Clipped Cub (Which engine?)

I have a 1/4 clipped cub and a set of sig floats for it. I bought it 12 years ago but was out of the hobby for many years. Got back into the hobby and now the cub is to the stage where I need to decide on an engine. I have pondered the Fuji 32a and the 1.60 FX. I'm leaning towards the 1.60 since it's much lighter and there are several other planes I would like to build for it once the Cub expiry date comes along. My friend tells me I will likely be adding nose weight with a glow and therefore should put the extra weight to use and buy the Fuji. In reading other forums it seems the power to weight ratio doesn't really pay with gas until you get to at least a 50cc. I'm not big on 4-strokes so it's either gas or 2C glow. Any suggestions?
