I fly Phoenix almost exclusively though for about a year. The dolphin was a good substitute for the Four Star, saving $50, my longest lasting Phoenix and most versatile plane is the Funstar. It floats, lands like a trainer, and can be very aerobatic. the Sea Bee flies like it's on rails, and I've flown the Sonic, but found it a little twitchy with the elevator. You'll want low rates/short throws on that channel.
All Phoenix models tend to set slightly nose heavy on the CG recommendations too, and I find them, for the type of flying I do, to go 1/4 ounce more on the tail. Phoenix comes with pinned hinges, painted firewall, engine mount already installed with secure blind nuts behind the firewall. The covering is so so, when you tighten it up, use a very low heat setting on all of them. The pushrods are fragile, you can't use a Z bender on them at all, and I've always added more epoxy to the wing bolts, firewall, and servo tray, like on most ARFs to extend the service life and make it more forgiving on rough landings.

If you want my recommendation on getting back your wings, skip the Tower pages completely, and fly something I really respect head and shoulders above any Great Planes / Hobbico / Tower thing. Try Airborne_models, and look at the trainer category. Anything and everything from that category in my opinion, has fantastic response, slow flying characteristics, and predictability. My favorite is the Sky Raider Mach ll. It builts in half the time of the Tower site trainers and has far less tendency to tip stall, yet you can bank your turns precisely. for $79, you can't go wrong.
