Can't buy them all, choosing between ASW19 vs LS1 vs PIK20

Buy a good 19! LS1 you will need to pay the DG tax. No need to say anything about the Pik. Good comments all, thus far. Out of your list, I feel the 19 would be the best out of them. Good support, easy to fly (winglets can help here on the low speed side, Nixon/Murray tips seem the best) and decent performance. Similar would be the Pegase 101 (French 19). They are all older gliders, so reasonable finish (slight crazing is almost a given, deep cracks will require an expensive refinish) is worth looking for. A "factory" type trailer is also desirable, some "cobbled together" trailers can be a real PITA do deal with and may raise the chance to damage the glider. Welcome back to the sport. ;-)
