A purpose designed two-stroke can share many of the good qualities of a four-stroke engine. Reduced fuel consumption, better ability to swing a large prop, good tractability with great fuel draw without using a pump, etc.
This is what I have been saying all along. The inverse is also true, a purpose built four stroke can share many of the qualities of two strokes. Designed with big carburetors and ports with radical cam timing for ultra high rpm use and four-stroke engines can also be thirsty, peaky, and not able to tolerate large props. Oh yea, I forgot to mention noisy. Listen to the four-stroke engines used in Indy cars and you'll see what I mean.
