Spin recovery vs tail design

I would like to solicit comments on the question: Compared to a standard
tail configuration such as a 2-33 or Blanik L-13, does the initiation and
recovery from a spin vary substantially in T-tail (ASK-21 type),
all-flying (Phoebus) or V-tail (HP series) sailplanes? Really look forward
to reading and learning.
No significant differences - stick neutral, rudder against direction
of the pin.
Some V-tail gliders require the stick to be pushed fully forward (to
achieve sufficient deflection of the V-tail).
