If you want an aircraft that's able to fly the full aerobatics repertoire up to Standard level (-1 to +4G, no snaps, no prolonged inverted flight), you might also want to take a look at the Alpha/Robin R2160, the GenerAvia F22 and even the Fuji FA-200. At least, those are the three aircraft types that we see in the competition here in NL up to that level. You'll find they're not going to be a lot more expensive/complex than the Aerobat, but far more capable. And at least as versatile - all make good touring aircraft as well.

A bit more specialized are the Decathlon and Cap-10. And beyond that, there's the Pitts/Extra/Cap-21 and friends of course.
