2 or 4 stroke engine in a trainer ?

Hello all.

I am new to RC flying and I have bought a SIG Kadet LT-40 which is nearing completion (What a nice kit to build

) Anyway, I have 2 brand new engines, a Irvine .46 ABC MKIII 2 stroke, and a Super Custom SC52FS four stroke engine. I can't decide wich one to use, I am leaning towards using the four stroke, quite simply put, I just love the way they sound, and with all the mechanical parts and things sticking out just looks cool [8D] But I am not sure if it is a good idea. After reading endless threads here, it seems that running in and maintaining a fours stroke is a lot more difficult than a two stroke. And my engine experience is limited to plaing with a Cox .049 in a control line plane ... Should I endulge myself or should I go with the Irvine? Any opinions?

Marcel
