GP Christen Eagle engine

I'm shopping for an appropriate engine for the Eagle and am wavering between the DA 50 and the ZDZ 60. Perhaps biplane / ZDZ guru Dick Hansen could offer some advice. Is the ZDZ60 too much engine for this A/C? I feel sure that the plane will come in at the higher listed weight of 18# with a smoke system and a 50 - 60cc engine. The DA50 is lighter and would surely fly the Eagle well but this seems to be a lot of airplane for that motor if you really want it to perform. Opinions before I order something this week?

Thanks,
Chris
