Hi Jim,
I can only speak about the Sig that I am building, it is a very good kit but it is a builders kit. It takes alot of work to complete the plane. I hear the BUSA is more scale, maybe someone else can chime in on that.
As you can see from my build thread the Sig makes a nice looking Cub and with all the tips on Cubman's website you can make some easy changes that really help the scale appearance of the Cub. At this point I have about 200hrs invested in the Cub and I am almost ready for paint.
If you have a handfull of kits under your belt the Sig Cub should not be a problem to build!!
Later!!

RE: Balsa USA or SIG
It comes down to: are you a Ford or Chevy fan?. I've built the Sig 1/5 Cub, and have the BUSA 1/4 Cub to build. There are differences in wing attachment and some structural details, but both are great kits. I sort of lean to Sig, though, can't really say why. I agree with WWIINUT, check out his thread, a great looking plane.
