Default Suggestions?

OK, I am looking for an electirc ARF plane in the $300-400 area (total for all equipment other than TX). I'm open to just about any suggestions at this point, it can be:

-Warbird,
-Scale,
-Non-foamy 3D,
-Ducted Fan,
-etc.

I already have a foamy, and sport aerobatic, so preferably not those, but just about anything else electric and in the budget is good.
Thanks.

I really enjoyed the ParkZone P-51....not real aerobatic, but VERY realistic!

go to 3dfoamy.com print the plans for the katana.
cut the foam and get a nice brushless motor and esc. that should run around 200 300 with all equipment.

I'd prefer to steer clear of any RTF airplanes, although I'll keep 3d foamy plans as an idea. Keep 'em coming!

How about a Polks Hobbies DR1 triplane? 40in wingspan, all wood, supposedly for a geared 400 size electric (brushless maybe) looks good, but I can't find any information on it from other modelers. Anyone have opinions on it?

I know this is an ARF forum but if you were interested in a kit a Mountain Models Tantrum 3D is a great flying plane and the laser cut kit can be built as quick or quicker than some ARF kits.

Here is a picture of mine.
