Mith,
  I have a 2 meter Passport which is a top quality 2 meter.  I bought it used for a very good price.  They are out there if you look. I know you, and you won't be happy with anything less that a fully competative modern 2 meter design.  If you want to go with a new plane, take a look at the Sebart 2 meter which is available from Thunder power (the battery company).  Both 3D hobby shop, and Extreme Flight are planning on releasing reasonably priced (sub $700.00) two meter planes later this year.

For a good look at the high end models take a look at this site.  The kits are fairly reasonable, and I know you have the ability to build them.  They are all much easier than the 40% kits.

There will be a Pattern event at Miramar in August, come fly with us.  Of course you are welcome to come down and try my Passport anytime.
