Default RE: .40 size pattern ARF: suggestions

The problem I have with alot of the .40 and .60 size pattern planes they are marketing, is the counter balanced elevator and rudder.
I understand that this is to make the plane a dual purpose Pattern / artistic freestyle plane but how do these counter balances
affect the pattern flight characteristics? do you have to keep the throws way down? I was thinking about getting the groovy 50
after I finish my 2m plane.
