Default Glider Shapes

Excuse MY ignorance !

Is there an advantage of the parallelogram configuration over the
conventional stick in the manufacture or in the handling ? For a
"universal" glider, the simpler it is with all the specs already given
(L/D, retractable gear, etc...), the more appealing it would be.
Eventually, though, ease of manufacture and price will be the
clinchers.

Cheers, Charles
