I never had one but have heard nothing but good things on each. I may be wrong but I think the 4* is a taildragger. If so, Go with that one. Don't worry, Taildraggers are no more difficult to take off with than a trike. One other consideration is the GP SuperSportster. All three are good for a second plane low winger. You fly that for a few months and hop into a little P-51 or similar.
