While I have no experience with the Pulse or Saratoga, nor the other models mentioned (although a member of our club flies a Pulse and it appears to be a floater) I would bank on a Stick. Either the Hanger 9 or Great Planes will do fine. I have the Hanger 9 Elite Stick 60 with a 76 in it and can do anything I'm capable of doing and then some, yet on low rates it's a ***** cat and lands as good if not better than a trainer, and mine has taken a beating for 4 years now, and it just keeps on ticking. I will say that if you can go with the 60 version you won't be sorry - large airplanes just fly better. If not, then you won't go wrong with either of the 40 versions made by Great Planes and Hanger 9.
