Default Indecisions, Indecions....

Well, the title doesn't really give too much info....but, it explains my predicament. I was so happy with my choice in planes/engines for now...a magnum70/kyosho spit & magnum91/showtime. I had a TH engine and (i'm not gonna start a fight, but...) I wasn't happy with it. So I swore I'd only get name-brand & proven engines. So, on my 3d plane...I'd like a 100% reliable (and powerful) engine so I can do those pretty low-level hovers and torque rolls. I had a Funtana X 50 w/ an OS 55AX on it, but it didn't have enough power (or reliability due to the pitts mufflers i used, all used) to do that with. I'm by no means a good 3D pilot, but I'm okay enough. I also do not want a profile (it just doesn't look like a real plane to me). I decided on a Saito 91, but decided to chip-in a bit more and get the 100. So, I had decided Saito FA100 with the Showtime 50. KE and hovering is my fav, so i decided against the FX50 again. I also want something that'll carry me a bit farther than just VERY basic 3D.

I've decided to go with the Saito 100, but am looking for a 3D plane with good KE characteristics. I haven't bought it yet, so if a Saito 82 (for example) would do better b/c of wingloading or whatever...please recommend anyway. But, looks like one of the Fliton Planes (extra, edge or inspire 60) or the Showtime 50. I'm also thinking of the Aeroworks Edge. Opinions welcome!!!!
(edit: Unfortunately, I don't have the time or space to build a kit...So I'm definitely set on an ARF for now)
