That sounds very reasonable. I think what concerned me most wasn't that there were several for sale, but that they seemed to have fairly low hours. I'm sure if I'd completed a plane I would want to put hundreds of hours on it before passing it on.
I did train on Tomahawks but never considered them particularly sporty except in the stall. And of course tailwheels are more or less a mystery to me. My plan had been to do a tailwheel conversion course, then perhaps an hour or two on a twitchy aircraft like a Pitts. But it's sounding as if going for something more sedate - a Turbulent or perhaps a Mono(?) - would make more sense. And we'll see where that takes me.
Thanks to all for the advice.
