looking for advice on lead n follow flights

Well said! For me, a single lead and follow showed me what the sky looked like from out of gliding distance from home and that there was, in fact, lift "out there".* Then I started working my way further away solo and, yes, landing out occasionally. Isn't it far easier to both sit in the same reasonable-performance two seater? You can't lose each other, the guy in back can shut up as much as he wants (safety pilot only) or give tips, or even maybe save the flight from time to time (e.g. if low in mountains and some precise close-in flying is needed) Duos and DG1000s are fairly plentiful and perform as well as modern standard class, but Grobs will do the job (especially the original Twin Astir).
