I can't really comment on that, since I've never flown a Jabiru. The big things I noticed (coming from the Gazelle) were the higher speed (around 120kts in the circuit compared to 70kts for the Gazelle), the CSU, and the retractable undercarriage. Combined with the need to constantly re-trim it (because it takes quite a while to go from the 80kt climb speed to the 120kt circuit speed and needs to be trimmed as that happens) it's a bit of a handful.
