Can thoroughly reccommend the Cri-Cri.. Flown it and done aerobatics in it and it's a delightful little machine. Not sure about whether you need a MEP rating or not (I did have one) but if you get the chance to have a go, rip the owners arm off!!!
The only thing that is odd is starting with a pull cord a la lawnmower, and you sort of sit with your legs either side of a clear plastic fuel tank....
