Default Buying LS3a or ASW20a? ~$25k cross country glider. Which one and why?

I can only speak for AS.......20, 24, 28, 29 for single place glass, ASK-21 for dual......not counting many SGS ships (26, 33, 34, 35, 36), but the AS's have a similar control harmony to SGS FWIW.......


I'm curious what makes you say that - the LAST ships I would describe has having control harmony similar to ANY glass ship is anything made by Schweizer!

SGS: 1-23, 1-26, 1-34, 2-22, 2-32, 2-33.

AS: 19, 20, 21

IMHO, SGS gliders range from OK if heavy (2-32, 1-23, 1-34) to twitchy in pitch but nice otherwise (1-26) to borderline unpleasant (2-22, 2-33).

But then I'm spoiled by 1000 hrs in an LS6...
