Default RE: A good 3rd plane

I am extremely impressed with the Vector Flight Edge 540. Everything I could find about the plane/manufacturer was excellent! I didn't see a single negative thing (well, one guy didn't like the wheel pants) and it is priced at $169.

I am pretty sure this is the plane for me! I will sleep on it first, then make my order.

Next decision... How should I power it? The website notes that it should take a 0.60 - 0.90 2 stroke or a 0.70 - 0.90 4 stroke.

Correct me if I am wrong, but if the max 4 stroke is a .90, then wouldn't the corresponding max 2 stroke (also .90 size) have a ton more power?

I have never used a 4 stroke before and I am quite curious..

Anyone have any suggestions if I should go with a 2 stroke or 4 stroke? Should I go with the max size engine (either 2 or 4 stroke)? Is there a particular engine that anyone might think is a perfect fit?

I am thinking a Saito FA-91S would be nice (Does this engine come with a muffler?)

Hehe, sorry for the barrage of questions! I guess I am a bit excited over finding this plane!
