Rusty,
If you were serious about touring, then you wouldn't buy a Pitts!
But if you had a Pitts and wanted to tour - then sure it is totally feasible.
The downside with many aerobatic aircraft (Pitts, YAK, etc) is that they don't hold a lot of fuel. So - in either a single or 2 seat Pitts, two hrs between fuel stops is about the maximum.
They are not particularly quick at cruise settings (130-150mph).
They love grass strips (mine lives on 600yds and is normally down and stopped in less than half of that).
The cockpit on the S1 is more comfy than on the S2 - it is a bit larger, I always feel TOO close to the instrument panel in either the S2A or B, but I do wear a back 'chute.
They are great fun. Friends of mine annually take theirs from Jo'burg to Nairobi - which is a long, long way!

Have fun,
