Default Large ARF Aerobat?

I am looking for a large monoplane aerobatic ARF with good precision aerobatic flying and decent 3D capability.

I won't be competing in IMAC but want to practice my flying to become better at precision aerobatics and maybe some 3D.

It must be powered by a glow engine (don't want the hassle of converting to gas at this time) and have unlimited vertical, preferably with a 2-piece wing no smaller than 70" span. I would prefer an Extra but would look at an Edge too.

I still haven't decided which plane/engine combo to buy. But right now my preference in this order is:

1. World Models Extra 300S 80" with OS 1.60FX, Bisson Pitts Muffler and Perry Pump

2. Yellow Aircraft 120 Size Extra 300L with Saito 1.80

3. Yellow Aircraft 120 Size Extra 300L with OS 1.60FX, Bisson Pitts Muffler and Perry Pump

4. Hangar 9 Edge 540 with Saito 1.80

5. Hangar 9 Edge 540 with OS 1.60FX, Bisson Pitts Muffler and Perry Pump

I have read nearly every thread on RCU about these types of planes and haven't found a definitive answer as to which one will give me what I am after.

Which one of the combinations listed above will give me what I want?

a. Glow Engine
b. Unlimited Vertical
c. 2-Piece wing
d. Excellent precision aerobatics
e. Good 3D capability
f. Larger than 70" span.
g. Must be an ARF.

Obviously a, f and g are OK for all of the combinations listed, but how about the other criteria?
