they tell me that wheeling a Pitts isn't a real option
I always 3 point the Pitts but I've seen one or two people wheel it on nicely. I've also been criticised by Alan Cassidy who recommends wheelers every time.
Sure you can wheel a pitts on nicely, but if you have a bounce (pilot or runway induced) you have very little prop clearance.
From what I have learnt, a wheeler is more manageable in a crosswind due to its better rudder authority and improved visibility.
