I agree about the "utility" aspects of a sim being primarily for procedures, but that's largely because none have a good enough FM or physical interface to make that side of things much of a training aid. Not to mention that there isn't a lot of "utility" in anything the Pitts, Extra, Su-26, or Edge does...that's not what they are for...they are for gluing a ginormous smile across your face for days or months after you fly them!
It's clearly the absolute best looking Pitts recreation ever (I just wish they had an S-2S and an S-2C) but I really must sample the physics!

How many time since we last spoke and flew together EcoDragon!
Glad to hear from you!
I see we still have the same interests... then I think you sohould buy this great simulator. I've did not flew the Pitts but I did a pair of flights in Extra 300.
After testing the simulator, I thing it has a quite good FM, at least better than CoD because it has propwash modelled.
And of course, I did a video:
