I suggest you expand your search to include a Kitfox III with a 912. I bought a 3 in 2008 that had 320 or so hours on it with a 912 in it. I now live in central TX and have flown it to Oshkosh 4 times and Sun n Fun twice. Been to SC, MS, AZ, NM and points between I have put 800 + hours on it and really love it. I too was looking for a 4, but this one was within my price range and close enough to fly home easily. Yea, I cruise at only 90 mph, but flying is flying. I can get off quick and land short. Good enough for me.
