Default Best 32-37 sized engine?

My Uproar is finally done... Took me about 4 weeks to get this kit buit. I plan on conducting it's maiden with the TT GP-42 I had installed in my trainer, but I don't think it's going to be adequate for 3D type flying. The plane balances near perfect with the GP-42, so I'm now looking for an engine in the 11-12 oz range which will turn between 13-14k with an APC 11x4 prop. I was looking into the Tiger Shark 39A due to it's displacement advantage over other 32-37 engines, but Kangke USA says he doesn't know when they're going to arrive, so I'm lookinf for an alternative. I've heard mixed things about the TT Pro-36, but I know it will turn 13k rpm. A friend has an OS 32SX in his Magic, but it's not powerful enough to pull it out of a hover vertically. The Magnum/ASP 36 looks promising, but I know this manufacturer has had some issues in the past. And the Webra is a bit out of my price range. Anybody have any experience with the above motors or any others that will fit the bill for my project?

Thanks!
