I'm gradually establishing my "hanger full" of planes. Learnt to fly with an UltraStick 60, I built and moved on to a Sig SE 40, I have a Great Planes Extra 300S 60 kit on the bench and looking for my next plane. Thinking a novice to intermediate pattern would be appropriate. However, confusion has landed with the multitude of choices. I need some advise, suggestions, help, pros and cons, etc.

First thought, Hanger 9 Aresti 40 - not sure now, discovered some problems, but also some nice reviews.

Second thought, Great Planes Venus 40 - undecided, kinda similar to the Aresti 40, only longer.

Third thought, World Models Zen 50 or 90 - heard some really nice things about them, leaning in this direction, probably the Zen 50 (BTW, what's the difference between the Zens and the Tai Jis?)

Last thought, Great Planes U-Can-Do-3D - seems different from all the others in that the wing loading is significantly lower, but is this more of a "yank-it-all-over-the-sky" plane, less capable of precision aerobatics?

Any suggestions that I may have forgotten? Any pearls of wisdom from those of you with significantly more experience than me? This forum has already given me lots of invaluable information and direction as I've gotten into this hobby. Thanks for you all your help and advise.
