Default ZLIN 242

Hello,
after one year experience with a 226, I think about replacing it
with a Zlin 242. I have flown 226, 526 and 142 and I know very well,
that the *26 ist the nicer airplane for aerobatics. But there are
little con's which ad up.
- If you (I) fly only a few times per month taildragger, doing the
(basic) acrobatics is easier than making good landings
- Compared to me, the neighbours don't like the sound (I don't
understand!)
- Glider-Towing is not very safe with 160hp
- Traveling impossible due to small fuel amount
....

What do you think, would a 242 be a good replacement?

Anybody who might be interested in the 226, will find it at
www.planecheck.com.
Any tips, hints for the 242?
Maybe somebody has one for sale(Europe prefered)..

Thanks
Klaus
