You're probably right on the lack of 3D, but as it is my second plane, I didn't want to go straight to a fully 3D airplane. I wanted something that could be my first low wing tail dragger, and sportier/more aerobatic than my high wing trainer. I thought the Dazzler would be a good transition, with my third plane (maybe next winter - 2008/2009) being a Funtana or something totally 3D. I was afraid that a thinner winged, fully 3D bird might be a little much for me right now. I've been flying excellent, and I'm quickly out growing my trainer, but this has been my first summer flying RC. I think the Dazzler (for the price) will be a very enjoyable second plane. I may just move my OS 40 LA onto it, but I do want to try to see if I can do some form of hover, and I'm concerned that engine wont be enough to do that. I also plan to over size the rudder some, maybe add some counter balance area to it. From what I'm reading, that will improve it's ability to knife edge.
