Default Vintage Second Plane?

I soloed early this summer with an Avistar and am looking for a second plane. My request is unusual because I really love the looks and charm of vintage aircraft, and if at all possible I would like to build one from a kit as my second plane.

With the Avistar I can perform various maneuvers such as rolls (slow and fast), loops (not "eggs"), immlemans, split-s, stall turns, and can fly inverted while making turns. Takeoffs and landings are also non-events. I have only built one kit (a Goldberg Electra years ago) but have many necessary tools.

With these skills and interests in mind are there any quality kits out there that I could handle? I have done some browsing and am looking at planes like the Top Flite Elder 40 or Great Planes Pete 'n Poke kits. Am I on the right track?
