Having been in a similar situation over the winter with a price range up to $45K, I actually chose a cheaper alternative, Jantar Std 2.

Reasons being no gelcoat, very sturdy, awesome spoilers (outlanding fields here in the northeast aren't huge) and having some time in one.

I also like the reclined position.

I'm around 100h mark so it'll be a while until the ship will be holding me back from making awesome.

I did consider Ls-3, Pegase, DG-200, HP-14/18, Ventus C 17.6. At the time there were no ASW-20's that seemed like a good deal.

Seems to be some decent deals for westeners on wingsandwheels. DG-20(2/0), (Open) Cirrus and Kestrel would be on top of my list to look at if I were looking out west right now. Save some money now for tows and get a 3rd gen glass ship in 5-10 years for way cheaper than what they go for now.
