I've got the complete plans to the Affordaplane and it looks like
something I am capable of and can afford.
None of the other planes I've looked at are anywhere near this easy or
cheap. Also, it's capabilities are within my specs (6' 2" tall 260lbs).
I also have not found any qualified detractors of this design(so far).

Does anyone here have a suggestion of a design that might be a better
fit? Does anyone have any thoughts on this build at all?

There are many other possibilities that seem to fall in the same ballpark.
Here's a few other you may or may not have considered (mostly as kits; some
prices include engines but most don't):
