It does need to be flying YOU enjoy, but personally I would see if I could get into a group round an (Aerobatic) RV. Doing aeros can be a bit like the last post, get the aircraft out, get airborne, up to height, aeros sequence and back on the ground in 20 minutes or less with WAY more actual handling experience than an hours bimbling, so you may do less hours, but you will be a much better handling pilot for less cost, also with an RV, if you DO want to go somewhere it will get you there nice and quickly - 140kts at around 25l/hr!
