Dream plane with a caveat

Hi All,

I am in the position of buying my "dream" plane except for fact there are a few obstacles in my way. The main problem is that no one plane can do everything, the second that I don't have the money for my true dream plane.

With that in mind i'm looking for suggestions that would include the following main criteria:
2 seats
Be somewhere around 150k USD +20 for a gem. (but i dont have to spend all that)
Be fully certified, not experimental/Permit (so I can put it on an AOC in my country, to earn money when i'm not flying)
Be very aerobatic
Be able to handle high and hot field elevation of 4000' with temps around 30 c each day.
Have a good long range say 450Nm we also use for touring.
Be able to handle rough strips.

Just to give an idea of what i'm looking at, if it had a full cert I would like a Yak 52 TD with all the trimmings. If I had more money I would have an Extra 300 (not sure of its range though).

Many thanks in advance for any suggestions.
