Flyfalcons & RCAddictions, I would have to agree that nothing beats a sport plane with a nice big and thick constant cord wing for some lazy Sunday knockabout. That's why my Stiks (namely WM Super Stunt 75 and 120) are my perennial favorites for just those occasions.
I guess I'm just spoiled by all the $199 specials on 1.20 aerobatic ARFs. $390 just seem a little high for a one-piece wing sport plane ARF (BTW, TowerHobbies lists the wings as being foam-core). Unfortunately, there aren't that many other alternatives for something like the Stinger 1.20 ARF. The only other new ARF coming out in this general category is the WM Fun World 3D. It has a nice big straight wing (1392 sq. in.). Quad flaps and plug-in two-piece wing makes this a very nice package. For $249, that'll probably be the one I'll pick up for my next Sunday driver.
