Default Asw20 vs Discus

As previously stated plus:
It's likely a Discus has a better trailer than a 20 "A" or most B, for example Cobra with single-piece Al floor and captive 4-wheel dollies.
The 20C is new enough to have the same.
But my vote is always with flaps, as Chris points out re the high end of the polar.

One other "plus" in the column for the Discus over the 20: It won't self-immolate when the canopy is open and positioned "just right" to catch the sun and focus the beam of light on the glare shield...

PS: If anyone has a Discus or 20 they would like to toss out, I'll be glad to come and tote it away for you!
