Default RE: good second plane

You may want to add the Bruce Tharpe Venture 60 to your list. Bruce was the engineer at Sig who designed the Four Star 40 and 120. He started his own company and the Venture 60 is his "updated" version of something similar to the Four Star (with all the improvements he has come up with over the years). Take a look at www.btemodels.com for more info. He has a comparison on the site indicating where improvements have been made over his Four Star design.

I am mid-way through building a Venture 60 right now. The kit is excelent and if it is actually an improvement over the Four Star which many consider to be the best second plane around then it should be an excelent choice as well as the ones you have listed.
