Default taildragger take offs and landings

I've been flying a highwing trainer with steerable nose gear for a few months and have no trouble taking off or landing. For my next plane I'm thinking about a Sig 4 Star 60 which is a low wing taildragger.

My question is... How much difference will the take offs and landings be with this plane? The trainer pretty muchs floats down and all I have to do is give a little up elevator about a few inches from the ground. On take offs, I also give a little up to get it off the ground.
