Default Focus ARC or CA models Eclipse ARC????

Trying to think of what the next pattern plane should be. I own a focus right now and I love the way it flies. Would like to buy the ARC to cover it ow I see fit. But I love the look of the CA models eclipse, have not seen it fly, but the builder Marcelo Colombo work is second to none! What do you guys think out there.
here is a pic of both planes.

I have seen the Eclipse fly, and it looked very good. It handled the crosswind very well, and flew at a nice constant speed. It weighed in at 4400g with an OS 140 RX F1. The other pilot flying one that day also agreed that it flew better than his old Smaragd, and after seeing his work, I am seriously considering buying the Eclipse next time I come to Argentina.

Is the Eclipse a kit or an ARF? If it's a kit, how much does it cost?
Definitely a nice looking plane

I was quoted that the arc would be $995, and the complete arf would be $1395 or $1495
