Hey Rog, I've seen you fly and have complete faith that you could crash either of these planes with equal ease Anyway I would have recomended the Uproar for you as I think you will find these "larger" planes cumbersome compared to 1/2a. I have seen the Uproar 60 and Four Star 60 fly and the uproar is far more nimble where the 4* is very gracefull and good for practicing pattern stuff. The 4* is also classified as a sport trainer. The Uproar is kind of like my Sig Something Extra. It will fly a lot like your Lil' Extra but will apear slower in all manouvers... Have you flown that yet?

Oh, and definately go for the .46FX or Fox .45 that .40 is not enough.
