Which Round Engine Biplane

[jefferts]

Not trying to start a war, but if you had, say, $150k to spend on a historical round engine bipe, what would you buy. Points for cool, fun to fly and good looking. (kind of sounds like a match.com ad doesn't it?). Note, you don't have to spend the entire amount. I'm just wondering about the relative merits of a stearman, a 450 stearman, a UPF-7, N3N or what have you. I'm thinking I need a round engine once in my life.
