Citabria 7KCAB vs Cessna 152 Aerobat

Hi there

Looking for a CofA, two seat, economical aircraft capable of basic aeros. Preferably would like a tail-wheel aircraft ( Citabria ) but recently been looking at the Aerobat as perhaps a more affordable alternative to the Citabria.

Does anyone have experience of aerobating these two types and whether or not the Aerobat is comparible to the Citabria. ie: does it make a good, more affordable alternative, or is it quite shabby in comparison.

I have been spoiled so far flying Pitts and have flown in a Decathlon. I realise the perfomance will fall way short of these types but currentky I am flying a rathewr old, underpowered Auster, so a Citabria or Aerobat will seem pretty good! I am also looking for a real long term aerplane - an all rounder that I can keep for many years, so these two would seem to fall into that bracket.

Any input appreciated

Many thanks
