Default RE: Pitts or Skybolt

I'm not afraid of the dumb thumb, although I do possess that ability. I fly IMAC and pylon race and feel I can probably fly anyhing. I've got the urge to get a bi-plane and it would be nice if it would fit in my SUV in one piece but that is not an absolute requirement. I don't want to go any smaller than a 60 - 90 size. I'd get the Skybolt in a minute but I just don't like the color scheme. I have recoverd an ARF but tht's more work than I want to do. I have a YS-110 in a Funtanna that I still fly every once in a while, I don't want to take that engine out and I'm somewhat resistant to getting another only because I already have one, That's why I was thinking about the YS-140 in the Pitts. But then I read a lot about how good the Skybolt is and that makes me think maybe I should. I do have a Saito 180 setting around with nothing to do in case someone knows of a different plane I should consider.

I've gone into overthink and am confusing myself beyond belief. I'm looking for opinions and/or ideas.
