What is great about the Zenair range is the construction method, using high grade "pop" rivets. IMHO, it makes it the second easiest method to build an all-metal plane (the best being Michel Colomban's designs). Way faster to build than an RV.
For the rest, I don't like the stick either, and many other things would definitely need some improvement. I have considered the Zenair, and finally decided that if I ever build an aircraft, ease of construction would not be the main criteria for me.

I have a friend who is close to completing a 601. Personally, I don't like it. That center, flip over stick, looks like it could really be a problem. The plane is big and looks bulky. It costs as much as an RV. All the parts did not fit well. This guy has completed 4 RVs and this was a real "experience" for him. I do love the Jabiru 3300 installation on it though.
