Slackie, IMHO the two-holers (and the S2S) are easier to land, by which I mean tend to run straighter with all three wheels on the ground - and it is all very comparitive, than the single seaters. My landing is not over until I am safely outside the aircraft with a cup of tea or a beer in my hand.
The maingear to tailwheel couple on the single seater is significantly shorter than the two seaters.
The very first single seaters had an even shorter (3") fuselage than the 1C/D/E/S and from these the tree-rat reputation spawned.
Michael - depending on your weight/budget do not discount the C.
The D/E/S all have 4 ailerons as opposed to the 2 on the C and have a 100lb greater MAUW to boot. Not inconsequential if you are "average" size and want to take advantage of full tanks and remain in the CoG envelope!
