I'd love an Aircam, but the price is far too steep for my liking. I also am not multi-engine rated so I prefer the simplicity of a single engine design.

I have flown Cessnas and a Kitfox, and while I enjoyed them immensely I really would enjoy having a full 180 degree unobstructed view.
So my ideal aircraft would be something that:
1.) Is a pusher configuration
1.) Can take a fuel injected rotax
2.) Two seater (either config)
3.) Open cockpit, ideally with the ability to add a plexiglass windshield enclosure.

Thinking of
1.) Kolb Firestar (don't think can take a 912is?)
2.) AirCam
3.) ?

Drifter

Agree. The AirCam was developed from the Drifter.

Drifter, yes.

Also the Rans S-18.

I would add the Rans S-12 to the mix. Not "true" open-seater (though it was initially designed as one), but can be flown with the doors removed, so only a relatively narrow windshield in front of you. Good option to be able to close the doors when it turns cold... Otherwise an open cockpit might be a 1 1/2 season airplane, depending on where you live.
