They all slow down well and are easy to land. The cap does require some coupling for knife edge. A friend that is flying the Staudacher says it is the best plane he has flown for knife edge...and he has flown many many planes. I have recently bolted on the Magnum 120 four stroke and love that. My guess is the Saito 100 will be a better match (not as heavy). As Otter said they are built strong and take the abuse of not so perfect landings (if you don't mind bending back some gear) I don't think you can go wrong for $200.
