You'll be very happy with your decision!
I had very little light airplane time (didn't even have my ASEL), zero tailwheel and zero Vans time when I put a deposit down on my RV-6. I wasn't even looking at -6A's, It was a taildragger or nothing.
In probable record time I added the single engine rating, spent three days with Mike Seager in Oregon for some RV-7 time and my TW endorsement, then went out to Alabama for the pre-purchase and then flew the -6 back to CA.
NO REGRETS. It's very docile, even when I get sloppy it doesn't try to bite, and it's just so fun to fly! Several times now I've just gone out for a few trips around the pattern and it's very enjoyable. Very satisfying when you get a great landing out it!
