Default DFW RV-4 or RV-8

I sold my airplane about a year ago and am getting the bug again. I'm considering a built -4 or -8. I prefer the -4 due to cost, but I've never sat in either one. I'm a bigger guy, 6', 240lb and have heard mixed reviews on whether or not the -4 is big enough. Would anyone in the area be willing to allow me to try theirs on?

KADS is home base, but I'll travel if necessary.

Default RV4 RBD

I have a 4 at Dallas Executive you could try on. I won't be back until after New Years though.

The 4 is a bit smaller than the 8 in the cockpit, but there is a seat back mod that can move you back a bit for more leg room or if you have a long back.
I built an 8, my wife bought a 4. I love both of them for different reasons.
