They are both close to the Stick, i have all three and depending on how much i want to spend in fuel for the day will tell me what to fly. Where you looking for a kit or an arf, what size limits do you have? what is the spending limit on this?
I would prefer a kit as I really enjoy the building part of this hobby, but am open to anything at this point. I'm trying to stay within the 60 size range because I have an OS91FS or a ST90 I could use for power, plus all the radio gear for that size plane. I also have an old K&B .45 I could use for a 40 size kit, but would like to stay with a larger plane.

Spending limits? Well since I have the engine, radio gear, nearly all hardware I wouldn't mind spending a bit more on a kit (or even an ARF for that matter) in order to get a decent 3rd plane that I can learn on - say a couple hundred bucks.
Kits:
Bips:
Great Planes Super Skybolt Kit (60 size)
Sig Hog Bipe Kit (60 size)
Midwest Super Stearman Biplane (60 size)

Mono:
Sig Astro-Hog Kit (60 size)
Great Planes Extra 300S (60 size)
Midwest Citabria (60 size)
Great Planes Cap 232 (40 size)

ARFs:
Mono:
Great Planes Super Sportster (40 size)
Great Planes Matt Chapman CAP 580 (40 size)

This is just my thoughts. I like to shop out of tower if you couldn't tell. but i also like yellow aircraft, dave johnson designs and a few others.
