There's no such thing as a perfect aircraft, an aircraft with superb short field performance is normally a bit slower in the cruise because of the hight lift wings, etc. They are ALL nice, and have both excellent, and not so excellent features. It's all about budget. If you have 10K in your pocket you are not going to get a 747.

My personal favourite microlight is an MCR-01.
Would I prefer to have it instead of my Jabiru? Answer = YES. But my 200H Jabiru is worth about 25K and a similar S/H MCR-01 would set me back over £50K, and If I had a spare £50K for an aircraft I would buy a J430 instead. So it's just not going to happen!

BTW, the SL does look nice Pato, and yes katana I would change my jab for one, but only if someone gave me the extra £30,000 difference in cost. But then I'd sell it and buy a J430 like this......
