Just a reminder, I'm sure your caps lock was accidently on. All caps is considered "shouting" which it typically unpolite, not to mention all caps is hard to read.

The LT40 is a good plane. I like your confidence with respect to the sim, but real planes and real weather is different than the sim. In most respects, the sim is easier, so be sure you have help when you fly your trainer. You are off to a good start, and conficence is good, but don't set yourself up for humble pie on your first flight.

King makes a good point. It is common to try a lot of differnet types of planes and types of flying. We each find our own unique enjoyment in the hobby. I know I will always fly aerobatic planes, but I flew a lot of differnet planes before I decided aerobatics is what I wanted to focus on. King finds the diversity a challenge. I find flying precision aerobatics challenge enough, but I'm always willing to try a new ship. Case in point, I flew my first jet last Saturday, and it was a blast.
