Hey kenh - wttb.  I can't really help you with your next helicopter selection as I am in just about the same situation as you are!  My first heli was a Schluter Super Helibaby (w/collective pitch).  I still have what is left of it but we had a blast building, rebuilding and rebuilding it in the late 70's!  I spent years flying planes then got back into heli's, flew a couple of Concept 30's and then a Tsurugi powered by an OS 60.  I still have the Tsurugi and it is in pretty good shape.  I have a couple of electric heli's (have batteries ever changed over the past 10 years!) and am having a blast - and I'm sure you will as well.

Happy hovering.
