I have built and flown all 3 and I would hold off on the Hog Bipe and make it your 3rd plane. It's a great flyer but a lot different then what you are use to, and bipes do fly different, get more stick time. Now you mention a mid wing but the other 2 are low wing, did you forget to post one??? Now of the 2 I would go with the Venture 60 hands down!!! Bruce Tharpe designed both and the Venture 60 was to be the next generation 4 star so to speak. It builds like a dream and it's a dream to fly!
