Aerobatic Permit A/C

Looking to make my first outright purchase of an Aerobaitic Permit aircraft having had shares in the usual Cessna sort of aircraft for about the last 10 years.

The two types I'm seriously considering are the Tipsy Nipper with a Jabiru engine and the Rans S10 (which also has the benefit of 2 seats). The aircraft will be hangered and strip length is not a factor.

Can anyone offer any advice or a comparison of the two aircraft (flying, running costs etc) as I've yet to fly either? I'm pretty aware of the Nipper costs and handling / weight pitfalls as there is a lot of good info on the net but I cant find much on the Rans.

Any advice on either of the two greatly appreciated, either that or any other possible candidates in the sub £20k price range though that could be stretched if required.

Kind regards
