Thought you said you wanted a 3D plane. The Showtime is a pattern plane that can do 3D. Its no 3D trainer. Also, you said you wanted a 40 size. If you are going up in size to 90, then the Funtana 90 or the Extreme Flight Yak 68". Are you wanting to learn 3D or just buy a neat looking plane? If you're gonna learn 3D, you need to get down low and take some risks...not exactly the best thing to do with a nice expensive airplane. Buy the Showtime or whatever else you like but save it for after you've learned to hover, torque roll and rolling harrier down on the deck with a profile.
