Not in the market for one but handsome is as handsome does. Based on my Sportstar experience, low wing LSAs are not practical aircraft for Australian conditions. We ended up totalling Two of them and a Third had major damage - just a wee bit too delicate and that wing is too close to the ground for reliable crosswind use. The Sportstar would run out of aileron authority if you weren't very careful.
Now the Brumby with the new Rotax 912 iS - fuel injected would be a very very capable beast with great range. I'm corresponding with an early user who is averaging about 13 L/hr in some pretty severe conditions. The only "issue" with this engine is that it will most definately need a header tank for peace of mind as the pumps circulate about 60 L/hr.
