Default 2c and 4c power and speed

Hi guys,
Having a little debate at the moment about the differences between 2c and 4c.. more so for the speed related to each engine, aswell as their aerobatic use. I am stuck on the decision to go 4c or big 2c for my extra.. and am worried that if i go a 2c it will have only top end and create to much speed, whereas the 4c wont have the top end but will have the mid range torque.. in everyone's oppinion is 4c a better option for aerobatics? Taking into account everything... i.e. prop sizes, power, torque.

I know the 2 stroke i am looking at will give me serious verticle authority, but the 4c will be boarderline, but i think the 2c even with a low pitch prop will still create too much speed.. what do you think? I just dont definately dont want a speed demon. I know its all in throttle control but i think you get what i mean bout 2c's.

Ps. The engines are an O.S. 1.08 2c and a Magnum 120 4c for a 8-9lbs model.
