Default 1/5 scale Cub, full or clipped wing?

I am building the Sig 1/5 Cub. My dilemma is which wing configuration to build. I REALLY like the full wingspan version (7ft wingspan would be awesome). But I have heard mention that the clipped wing is a better overall flier, mainly due to better power/weight ratio. My thinking has been to go with the full length wing and later order another to build as the clipped wing version.

This is my first build, and will be my "second" aircraft. I am a "middle aged" person, not interested in speed or aerobatics, just wanting some fun and realism in my flying. I intend to keep my flying relaxing and enjoyable, not intense and knee shaking!

Any opinions?
