Sounds good... what about balancing - did you have to add any weight in the front to get the CG right? Do you have an indication of your total weight without fuel?

The alternative I still see is the FX160, but due to noise restrictions we can't use pitts style mufflers here, so I'd probably need to go with a tuned pipe (the OS standard muffler is choking the engine, I'm told, and still too big to fit under the cowl). This would require modifications to the fuselage which I'm not keen on. Do you happen to have any comparison with the FX160 vs. your FS200?
