Default Help me decide - aerobatic second plane

I currrently fly an Avistar (my first plane) and am looking for the next step up.

I've spent countless hours reading all of your great suggestions and reviews and have learned a ton. My problem? I can't decide!!!

I currently have an extra flight pack (with Futaba S3003 servos) ready to go. I am planning to buy the bearing kit to turn them into S3004s.

I don't have an engine, but based on the research I've done here I plan to buy either a TT or Tower Hobbies brand motor.

I think I've narrowed things down to the four ARFs below. I don't have the time to build a kit. :-)

I like the price of the Easy Sport and Dazzler, but really like the looks of the "3d" and Somethin' Extra.

1) U Can Do 3d - seems to be a favorite, but requires high-torque servos. Also, need a larger engine....more $.

2) Easy Sport - Advertised as a great "second" plane. Will I quickly outgrow this one?

3) Sig Somethin' Extra - A favorite. Will the smaller wingspan make it hard to see? My Avistar has a 59.5" WS, the Extra has something like 51". At $199, this is kind of expensive.

4) Dazzler - Nice in price, like the Easy Sport. Some folks seem to love it, others say the ARF is a piece of junk.

What do you think?
