I would definately go with the Extra 300s. Both kits build easily, with perfect fit and instructions, but the Extra flies soo much better. It has a slower stall speed for easier landings, and is just soooo smooooth! I blew mine up with dumb thumbs years ago, but still regard it as one of the best builds and best flying planes ever. The Cap 232 had odd habits (for me). I had one with an OS 70 FS, and it flew very well, but I had to add alot of down elevator for level flying. I added down thrust to help compensate. It never landed quite right, and I blew it up on a landing. One of the pro's thinks it was radio signal loss, as I had the antenna inside the fuse, with metalic MonoKote, even though it passed preflight check fine, and made a few safe flights. It always seemed to have a bad stall at slow speed- much worse than other planes I've had, including a Hangar 9 232's.
