Default Engine 4 Piper cub

I just received the Clipped wing Piper J3 Cub -48 I bought from AirBone models.
I'm very impressed on how fast they deliver for $10 ( ordered last Friday and received the Monday after).
I'm also happy on confirming how complete this ARF package is. Different than other Piper cub ARF kits I saw so far, it comes with everything plus Fuel tank, Scale pilot, front and tail wheels which the others kits do not carry and the finishing is pretty good.

I'm now deciding on the engine for this plane. I have a evolution 0.46 engine that I currently use in my trainner and could move to the cub but I'm pretty much going to buy a 4 stroke to make the cub look and sound nice.
So far, I checked the engines Magnum XL-52RFS for $150 and the Saito FA56 for $194.
Any comment about these engines and any suggestion? Any better deal out there?

I'm also looking for a good deal for the receiver and servos. I found a JR700 (I use JR radio) + 4 servos( I would need 5) + battery + switch for $124.Any better deal you guys know about?
