Default DA-100, 3W100B2 or BME102???

I'm going to be building my first giant scale...an AW 33% Edge 540T...

I get alot of cross-opinions about which engine to use...

I was leaning toward the BME102, then some told me that the 3W and DA had better 'mid-range". What do they mean by that, and are there any 102 owners who can tell 'bout there nidrange?

The I leaned toward the 3W100B2 because they had lightened this new model, but then heard from another that he has seen several have the 3W and have had lots of iginition/starting/running problems...

Haven't heard much of any negatives about the DA-100....

So what all yer takes on the subject?

Sure I want power, but not at the expense of didlin' with it every time I get to the field...

I wanna flip the prop a few times and start taxiing, not flip the prop dozens of times and then take the cowl off, scratch head, etc....

Thanks guys in advance for your insight.... I heave read the other threads, but they rarely discuss the differences/advantages of the 3...
