I don't think I'd turn up my nose at any of the current or recent generation 912 engined 3-axis microlights. Each have their strengths and weaknesses, most are a little limited on payload - but for a nice, cheap to run, puddlehopper for 1 person and proper bag, or two people doing short legs with small bags, they're pretty much all good.
Others in the same bracket I'd look at:-
Medway SLA Executive
SkyRanger (any version with a 912 or 912S engine)
CH740 Savannah
Zenair CH601 / Zodiac (most versions, just fly it and make your mind up)
FlightDesign CT2K or later CTSW
EV97 Eurostar
Reality Escapade (maybe not the earlier Easy Raider if you ever plan on taking a friend flying who you still want to be your friend after the flight).
