Default Best Club class glider

Thinking about purchasing a club class glider for next year (can't afford a
JS1 or ASG29). I know Std Cirri seem to be popular, but notice G Dale has
bought a DG100 or 101 and won the UK Nationals in it -just wondered which
would be the best for club class competition and what the pro's and con's
would be of the following:-

Std Cirrus, 75 or 81 ?

ASW19/19B

ASW15B

LSIF

DG100/101

Std Jantar 2/3

Glasflugel Std Libelle

Glasflugel Hornet

Pegase

I'll have about £15k max to spend.


Re-lighting a fire.... I would avoid an LS anything, or a DG anything.
Both for the same reason, though the airframes are fine. Like many, I
recommend a good trailer, good finish, and ease of assembly.
Ruggedness is also a plus.
