Default Sukhoi or Giles

I looking to buy an ARF and have narrowed it down to two. The Great Planes Giles G-202, and the Sig Sukhoi Su-31. I have a 1.5 c.i. glow engine that I think would work in the Giles, but also have a 35 and a 41 cc gasser that would go into the Sukhoi. I want a plane that will be a good all around flier, but also have the ability to do some mild 3D stuff when I want it to. Reading other threads, the Giles seems to land fast (higher wing loading), and the Sukhoi seems to need bigger than a 41 cc engine to 3D. Any advice would be appreciated.
