What bothers me about the LSA rules is the weight limitation. There's no significant difference in flying qualities between a Cessna 140, 150, etc., and many of the new LSA planes, but the price difference is about $100,000. Instead of banning these slightly overweight planes, they could have allowed them as LSAs if they were placarded to restrict them to LSA weight.
I can't help thinking the rules were written as they are to exclude late-model two-seaters so the LSA makers would have a better market.
