I note lots of people have mentioned RVs as a generic type but there are 12 types of RV.
Whilst they are all above average you really should only compare the 3, 4and 8 in this context because the pilot its on the centreline ( the 3 is single seat).

The 4 is the best handling 2 seater, the roll axis is exactly on the bridge of the nose for an average height pilot. Its excess of power compared to the chippy makes it nicer handling in my opinion.
