I've been considering buying another just to get me through 200 hours due to the challenge and safety factor (very slow stall speed and metal construction), and then maybe something in glass. I have not decided yet but I have time, I'm still saving.

Don't let not having 200 hours in metal keep you from buy glass. I learned to fly gliders in a G-103, rented a fixed wheel G102 for maybe another ten hours then purchased glass, ASW-24. I thought standard class was a great way to learn and to learn XC. Got my badges in that std class glider, even an unofficial 1000k and most of my first 500 hours in gliders.
