The only thing I don't like are the CA hinges. I'd have to replaced those with Robart pin hinges.

Are you sure they are CA hinges? He usually uses flat, pin hinges. You can't convert a plane designed around a flat style hinge to accept robart hinges without tearing the covering off and adding balsa blocks where all the robarts will go so they have enough surface area to glue them.
If he does include CA hinges, just replace them with Dubro flat hinges or similar.
It is a good plane and a good price.
