Having flown a 6 and a 8. I can say they are very well thought out 2 seaters, and very fast to boot. Especially the 8 with a 200 hp lycoming.
Depending on availablility and costs, I would have the thought the 8 was now much better than the 4, with plenty of room in back.
With that undercarriage, I would not be that happy operating some from a farm strip, especially a tri gear one.
Word of warning if you think about importing one from the states. If it's a 4 or a 6, look very carefully at the build quality, because the builder had to do more work on these early kits. Such as drilling, dimpling, countersinking etc (vans does this for you now). I have seen a very poorly made 6 in Florida, with oversize rivets hiding over size / sunk holes ?). Also in the states people tend to modify them beyond what would be allowed over here. I even heard of someone putting a turboprop in a 8.
