builders' remorse?

I bought several info packets and a couple of sets of plans. I read

get in and out I'd need to bend my knees in a way they really didn't
want to go.

I have some remorse, and I'm not even done building my first one yet.

My problem is that the world refused to stand still and wait for me to
finish. I had criteria for plans built, cross-country speeds, 4
passengers, and a unique appearance. The Dyke Delta fit perfectly, and
I'm 80% done (with only 80% to go). But once I got enough of it
together to sit in it, I crave more room. Well, not true, actually. I
crave more room for my passengers. I just know the family trips (the
ultimate goal) will be limited due to the "crampness".

Now I'm being drawn to the Bearhawk. Gobs of room, front and back.
Plans built, or kit sections if there's some cash in the budget to
spare. Decent cross country speeds. Not very unique looking, but I'll
have a Delta for the fly-ins 8*)

I guess you could say that my remorse is not have one of everything 8*)
