Europas are lovely, tend to be well equipped and very economical especially using mogas . I'd go for the tri gear version in a syndicate, it makes it simpler although the classic is also really nice . Advice I've taken is avoid the subaru engined ones with the fancy clutch mechanism on the propeller
They maybe well equipped but you cannot use all that lovely kit in anger on homebuilt varieties.
The Grumman can be flown in IMC! So the Europa will be limiting although a nice aircraft.
