Okay. I'll be curious to see what people suggest to you - I have no 
experience to relate on the class of plane you are interested in, 
unfortunately.

Though I must ask if you have a preference for tandem or side-by-side 
seating?

I presume you've glanced through the December 2007 issue of Kitplanes 
magazine? They list as many of the currently sold homebuilts as they know 
about in their annual kit aircraft directory. Even if not buying a kit, 
you'd get some idea what models to include/exclude.

Uh - no. I suspect you are confusing my unusual last name with a Jim Logan

(note difference in spelling of the last name).
