FWIW, a look at the Czech Index List (handicaps) can give an idea of the Czech considerations about the performance of sailplanes, including all variants.

While I really do love the FES system as an easy, immediate, nearly fool-proof sustainer, the performance as indicated by this Czech list seems to fall back one generation. In other words, for example V3F seems practically equal to V2CXT and the same applies to all other types and manufacturers.
