The Europa is a cool kit, but the ergonomics are much different, and the
visibility is not quite as good, especially down. If you are compfortable
in it though, there are a lot of other huge plusses (trailer option, glider
wings, engine choices, fuel economy).

Its hard to narrow down based on what you said you liked. If its just
visibility, you are looking for, then you might want to look at a tandem
plane, especially the pusher type.

Another thing to look for would be the 85hp rotax version of the Katana.
These things can be had for nearly the price of a homebuilt. They are not
as fast though.

If you want glass, then you could look at the new lancair fiberglass kit, or
even a glassair, but these are not stable cruisers like the Katana trainer.
