Sparrowhawk vs PW5

I am not sure the Apis, Silent, or Sparrowhawk are readily available
at the club level yet. The dealers seem helpful, though.

I'm a little surprised that these dealers don't sponsor
some competition pilots (at least a little). One would
think a $1000 sponsorship, an insurance subsidy
for an open pilot clause, and parts would buy a lot of
exposure at a contest for these gliders. Who's going to buy
a glider they've never seen nor flown? Is there a better way to
get new product exposure than at a contest?
