FWIW the University of Illinois flight program use to use Beech Sports (similar). You might contact them for info.
I understand some of these planes were aerobatic!
I never flew one. BUT if I may offer these observations about Beech. The bonanza was nice.

Compare the seminole to the duchess and the duchess was awful.
compare the tomahawk to the beech skipper and the skipper was worse than awful.
but it is up to you. and I sure wouldn't buy one until I had flown it for at least five hours.
