The Senior is a nice looking model for sure and I'm sure it flies well but nothing has character like the others in your list. Yes it takes a little longer to make those curved tips but with old timers they will be around for a lot of years. It's worth the time and efforts in my book.
PS: If you want something a little snappier/positive in the handling department go for one that uses polyhedral.
I've got a Roger Hammer Flamingo with poly and while the response is still very trainer like in speed it is positive and responds well even in bad weather. Similarly my electric powered Record Hound handles well regardless of weather.
