Default A list of first pattern planes

Is there a list of recommended first pattern planes? I know I've heard some good recommendations but don't think I've seen them all in one place. There are some sites that talk about what kind of plane you need to fly pattern (don't necessarily have to have a pattern plane for Sportsmans, or even intermediate...) but I'd like to see a list of different planes that are good for a newcomer, with different sizes and price ranges included.

Personally after reassessing my situation I think the next step for me is to get a pattern ship that will fly with my 55AX but would appreciate a larger power plant in the future. I could then have something soon that I know I will love to fly, get to learn how to set up a pattern ship without having to worry about tuning a new (4 stroke?) engine at the same time.
