Default 3rd Plane?

Would like some opinions on a Third plane.
I am currently flying my GP Big Stik 40 (second plane) and getting bored with it.
I have a 4*60 kit that Im building which is almost complete. I have gotten a little bored with the build but will finish it eventually.

I am looking to get something more 3d like and was looking at the SIG something extra. The problem is that the something extra is a .40 size and I want something a little bigger. At least a .60 sized plane. Chief has a .60 size extra but it is in kit form.
Im looking for an ARF.

I have also looked at the 540's, Giles 202, and so forth but Im not sure If I am ready for those yet.

Does anyone know of any other ARFs of this style that might be a good choice for me?

Thanks

Bipes are cool but are not really my interest.

I love the way the 540's look and the giles 202 also, but Im not sure I am ready for those.

I have read that the something extra is a much more forgiving plane, I just have not been able to find one in a .60 size ARF.

Maybe I just need to look around some more.

Yellow Aircraft has a nice 60 size 300L Extra and would be a good 3rd plane.
