The Sig Somethin' Extra would probably be a good project for you. The kit isn't too expensive and the plug in wings make storage that much easier. It flies very well on anything from a .40 2-stroke up to a .72 4-stroke. Some people have installed even larger engines in these, but they really are not needed. The kit is about as easy to build as anything out there simply because all of the laser cut parts fit so nicely.

The RV series of aircraft are good fliers. I'm not sure why we don't see/hear more about the GP kit because it is a good looking model. A now long gone company called Craftair did an RV-3 or 4 some time back. It was wasn't as good of a kit as the GP model but it flew nicely and was pretty quick in the air. I would suspect the GP kit to be comparable in the air. I say, if you like the looks of the model, go for it. Show up at the field with something a little different than everyone else.

Let us know what you decide on.

Personally, I can't decide which of the dozen or so kits in my closet I'm going to build next (I'm seriously leaning towards my MK Silent 90) or if I'm going to start in on a large Sea Fury who's plans I should receive in the mail any day now.
