It's nice to have a airplane up to the Supercub or even a C180/185.
But for a new comer, I'd like to stay with the less type like a 150HP
150/152 and the rest of those Kitfox class.

Well, the Patrol is designed to work well with smaller engines, not that
it matters if you want to build from a kit. If you are interested in a
certified plane, a 150/152 would be my absolute last choice in a 150hp
plane. They are cramped and don't have a lot of useful load with the
heavier engine. In a certified plane I would want a Citabria, which has
a more comfortable cockpit than the Cub which you didn't like, and is
faster at the cost of a small amount of STOL performance.

I want to have something
that I can build with less than 1000hrs and less than $50k. And
definitely not plan built.

Understood. Be aware that you may spend more time that that even if you
build from a kit, since build times vary a LOT depending on experience.
I don't know what their prices are like these days, but consider the
Murphy Rebel.

It would be fairly easy to build a rebel for under50K but 1K build
time is pushing it for a first time builder.
