Having flown most of the aircraft mentioned above I can see no merit in starting aerobatic training on a high powered aircraft, things happen too quickly for the tyro to observe and digest, the aircraft don't help much with understanding energy management, this will all slow the learning progress while turning lots of AVGAS into noise.

My advice would be to start on the DHC-1 (preferably), T67 or Bulldog, once you have got to grips with the sport move on to the Extra or other high powered aircraft.
