Default Good sailplanes for tall pilots?

6'3' and weigh more than you (all I am going to say about that). I fly a 304cz very comfortably. I removed the seat back to get a bit more headroom, but is only an issue if you were going to share the glider with someone height chalenged. My height is mostly in my torso, but there is a version with a higher cutout for you legs for more legroom.

BTW I also fly a Duo T (not an XL) and there is no hope in the back seat, it might work in the front.

Please help me start developing a shopping list for a decent glider that I can enjoy owning and flying without cramps or impeded control movements. This would be my first foray into ownership, but I expect to own multiple in the future.
