Robert,
I think you got some bad information. Most citabrias don't have any
inverted systems. Only the decathlons and 7KCAB's have inverted fuel and
oil. The 7ECA, GCA and others are about as simple as they come. You
can check the spec's of the new ones at american champion's website.
Other than the metal spars and a little higher gross weight, not much
difference between the new ones and the old ones.

I used to fly and instruct in a Decathlon (which is mostly a
Citabria). Its hands down the easiest tailwheel plane to fly that I've
ever seen. However, you're paying (in $$$ and complex fuel/oil) for
the ability to fly inverted, etc. If you want to fly up-rigtht all the
time its probably not the best deal.
