Fox - I haven't flown any of those first three so can't comment directly. I do know a few folk who've flown the Spit and the Chippy; they report (pretty unanimously) that they both enjoy superbly harmonised handling (the Chippy maybe having the edge in the limited speed envelope of that aeroplane) but the Spit stiffens up its ailerons at the sort of speeds no Chippy will ever see.
I'd love to find out for myself, and of course the Spit is.... a Spit, with that fabulous engine and enormous power. I'm afraid the nearest I've come is the Yak52 which I part owned for few years. Far more power than the Chippy, and more usable power with CS prop, and much more powerful controls (consideraby faster roll response etc). Felt like a warbird. Sounded superb. But not as nicely harmonised handling as the dHC 1.
