Default What plane next?

Hi, I have been flying RC airplanes for about 2 1/2 months now (flying every weekend.) I recently got the Twist 40 with a really nice setup (OS .46 AX S3001 Servos a 6.0v 1650mAh batt, and an 8 channel Rx) And plan to maiden it this weekend. I know this isn't the best second plane, but it was on sale for 85 dollars so I had to. I think I am really going to like 3D so thats why this post is on this forum. I know I am thinking ahead here, but my question to you is "What plane next?"

So far 4 planes have caught my eye, 3 of them are meant for 3D, the other one was recommended as an excellent over-all plane. (Keep in mind this will be for next summer with lits of sim time over the winter)

I have been looking at the [link=http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=HAN4150]FuntanaX 50[/link]

and the [link=http://www2.towerhobbies.com/cgi-bin/wti0001p?&I=LXH755&P=ML]Tiger 2[/link]

If you think that these planes are very ill-suited for me, would you mind suggesting one that would suit my wants/needs?

Thanks for your help
