I'd go for the 10C anyday... If it's operated in a club environment, as the Tiger Club's is, then it makes sense, because you never know what the up and coming aerobatic 'aces' do to the machine when away from watchful eyes. I hear that Sherburn Aero Club had a 10B model which was overstressed and had to go back to the factory.... A recording G Meter is mandatory for the C and anyone exceeding club limits should be shot! Skill and empathy with the aeroplane maketh a good aerobatic pilot, not excessive G...

The only downside is that you have to paint the wing upper surface white, or have a white stripe along the top surface of the spar if its any other colour, which kind of ruins any fancy schemes..

But all in all a good all round machine, never gonna win at unlimited or advanced though.. Good tourer as well
