The Cessna Aerobat is a great basic aerobatic trainer and fun to do aerobatics in although not as capable nor as much fun as a Decathlon. The Cessna does magnificent snap rolls whereas I would never snap a Decathlon.
I know someone who learnt in a Decathlon and swore that the Cessna was incapable of some manoeuvres - nope, just that the technique he used in the Decathlon wasn’t appropriate for the Cessna. So, be prepared for a dual aerobatic check in the Cessna before you take it solo - especially spins as the behaviour and recovery technique is different.
