Good point, planning on LSA for now, as I had an aneurism some years ago (obviously survived it, but awaiting a doc's comment on that now to see if it would be a non-event or something that would keep me from getting my Private), and brain events tend to be a red flag. Will post what the doc finds. Common sense would say "no problem" as it was fully repaired, but the doc will let me know how the FAA will view it. I am proceeding getting tail dragger dual anyway, as that is the direction I wish to go. It will benefit me whichever course I choose. Many thanks on the comments!

and I found my old log book too!
