I appreciate all the advice! I'm thinking I'll avoid some of the "hotter" planes for sure. The thing I don't like about most of the intermediate planes is the nose of the plane. They all seem to have nose cheeks. I'm kinda leaning toward a 4-40 taking everyones advice into account. It's about $30 less than the Tiger and looks about the same. The mid star could look really cool if I modded the nose to be tapered. I ,eh hem, seriously doubt my next plane will be another trainer. I'm going to buddy box and I'm flying a sim. I've flown a little in the past and almost made it to learning to fly with a GP? ,something equivalent to a GP Easy Sport with a fully symetrical wing, then I had to move where there wasn't a club. It didn't last long after that.

I'm not in a rush yet. Have a few weeks to decide. Take a look at the mods this guy did on his 4-40. Sig should sell a nose kit for this plane and ditch the bubble canopy. Check this out:

I could never design a covering scheme like that either. Impressive!
