And do you think any manufacturer would put out a smaller Unlimted

Exactly. The Antares is from a NEW manufacturer. Not someone that
already has a 22 or 24 meter span Unlimited class sailplane. It is a
motorglider. And what is the span of a lot of the current generation
of motorgliders? 18 meters, if I remember correctly. Yes, there is
the N4M, and ASW-22BLE at well over 20 meters, but there is also the
LS-9, DG-800, ASH-26E, Ventus 2CM at 18 meters.

Some like span, some don't. I personally like span. I must be lacking
in the "skill" department ;-)
