You'd not be wasting your time if you had a ride in 2-seat Jodel (cheap to operate) and also an RV6 or RV7 (not quite so cheap)
Both are OK for strips, and the RV series will definitely put a smile on your face whilst doing 160mph with no effort at all ! Both are VFR machines.
There's more to flying than traipsing about in a rather dull 4 place people mover (Reims Rocket excluded ) but if you need IMC capability a 4-place solidly stable tourer will be a help.
The basic question is do you want to fly for pure enjoyment, or to get from a to b ?
