Thinking of getting a new plane.
 
Little background.

I've been flying R/C Airplanes for over a year now starting with the HobbyZone Firebird Scout and then moving onto the Wattage Cessna 180. Flew the Scout for about 4 months and then moving onto the Wattage 180. Here are the reviews of the planes.

Only had one crash on the Wattage but nothing severe happened. Both planes are still in great shape. I feel confident enough to move onto a bottom/low wing plane but i'm a little apprehensive. I still love flying both planes but would like some opinions on good planes for my experience. I'm thinking of staying with Wattage and transferring my receiver/esc/servos onto the new plane. I've been looking at these planes.

Definitely have my eyes on this plane:

Any advice would be helpful. The wattage selections are great because i can swap the components from my Cessna onto any of the following planes i linked. Which would you go with and why? all opinions would be appreciated.

If you're just into electrics, spend the money to go brushless!! With whatever plane you choose.JMO[8D]

that would definitely be a possibility but i'd like to start learning how to fly bottom/low wing planes with ailerons. i still love the cessna and have contemplated about upgrading it but i feel as if its time for me to move onto a new plane.
