Wendy,
I bought a 1968 ECA about two months ago. The insurance is about $1000/year
with AIG. I previously had about twenty hours in tail draggers and an
instrument rating. I don't know about the price on the plane you mentioned
but it does seem high. Then again, it looks like new.
Check out yahoo groups for citabriapilots. They really helped me when I
bought mine.

Get the Citabria. More utility. You can turn it upside down :-0.
Tailwheel
insurance is not a big deal if you find the right company. AUA is good.

I'm leaning towards the Citabria. I learned to fly one at Harvey & Rihn
Aviation, and picked up a few hours in their Super Decathlon along the
way;
I love spins and rolls! Cub Crafters has a nice one for sale, although it
is the 115hp ECA (which is what my tailwheel training was done in):

It's had the metal spar AD completed, and it looks pretty good. I've not
done enough research to know if the price is too high or not.
