The Icepoint from http://www.ultra-rc.com is probably your best bet. It is like $479 and is a very capable 2m ship. There are folks flying it in Masters and FAI P05. If you check out http://www.rcaerobats.net you can get alot of helpful info. Hope this helps and welcome to the pattern addiction.

P.S. if you dont already have the ST 2300 another great choice is an OS 160. There is info on Bob's website about setting it up for pattern. It is more then enough power to pull you through any class.
