Default Phoenix Models Extra 300s

Tonight I crashed my Sig 4 Star with a cartwheel on the runway, so I have been looking for a more aerobatic plane to move all my stuff from the 4 star into a new plane. I came upon the Phoenix Models Extra 300s 46 size and was wondering if anyone here has had it or had any experience with it at all.

I want to start getting into some IMAC type stuff and am looking at getting a 50cc gasser within a couple of months, and I figured that this could be the thing to kind of break through to the world of giant scale aerobats.

The equipment I have is a Saito 62 and Futaba s3004 servos on a DX7 transmitter. I think that this stuff will be adequate for the plane as it calls for a 53 4 stroke engine and standard servos. The plane is also listed at a mere 3.5 pounds, which is a good 2 pounds lighter than my 4 Star was. I am thinking that the engine should have power to have completly unlimited vertical, which is something I am looking for.

Is all this stuff a good match for this plane and is this plane worth my hard-earned money are the two major questions I would like some insight on. Thank you very much!
