Default Stik plane = better flying than Decathalon?

I have not flown for 5 years. When our field closed I was flying a Decathalon 60size as an aerobatic trainer. It flew well but would bounce/crash occasionally on landing, or do wild things on take off.

Now that I know a little more about planes, I'm thinking a 'Stik' plane would be good to get back in to flying. I read they are good in the wind (our field is always windy) and would be at least as acrobatic or more so than the Decathalon. Since it is not a scale plane, I'm suspecting it will be easy to land and take off.

Now the question, I have 2 new engines to use so...

Big Stik 40 with an OS FS 70 4-stroke or
Big Stik 60 with an OS 90FX 2 stroke

???
