Comparing Three Light Sport Aircraft

I recently flew a Flight Design CTLS for a little bit; it was a short demo. Now that I had time to mull over my experience, I'm going to summarize some of my feelings and try to make comparisons to a 2006 Evektor SportStar (which I also recently flew,) a 1998 Cessna 172 SP (which I fly a lot - about 50% of my time in the air, the other 50% being in a R182) and a EuroFox. I will hopefully fly the new SportStar SL shortly, and maybe others (Remos G-3,) and if there are any new insights, I will share. I never liked the look of the original SportStar, but the new SL looks impressive.
