Default HELP!! Choice of 100cc airplane for precision and 3D


I need some help deciding what to get between the following:

Aeroworks 100cc Extra 300
Aeroworks 100cc Edge
Extreme Flight 110 inch Yak

I plan on using a DL-111. I have to use canister mufflers due to noise restrictions at our field, and I would like to include the smoke system, so the plane will be pretty heavy. Thinking about using Li Ion batteries and Smart Fly or similar setup with Hitec 7955s (or maybe use 7950s and Lipo batteries?). I am not sure how to set up Lipos, whether you use Smart Fly or some other system.

I will be flying about half precision and about half 3D, at a guess. The EF Yak is a bigger plane, will have lower wing loading. It should fit in my 10 foot trailer OK.
Do I need a 9 channel receiver if I have smoke? My radio is a JR 9303 2.4.

I currently have two 50cc aeroworks planes, an Extra 260 with a DL 55 that I put together, and a Yak with a DA-50 that I bought used on RCU. Both planes are great, the extra seems better at precision flying. Both have pitts mufflers, Li Ion batteries and Smart Fly, No smoke.

Does anyone have experience with these planes, what do you recommend?

Thanks,
David
