When I initially bought 15-meter-glass (1st generation; 1981), I reasoned that - if I ever 'went the contest route' (which I never really did) - not until my score consistently reached within 10% of a contest's winner would it make any 'financial sense' to buy a higher-performing ship in the same class...if winning contests was my goal. Were I at the same stage today, I might use 20% rather than 10%, but the same principle seems as valid now as I thought it was then.  In any event, lotsa good, fundamental-advice upon which to noodle and from which to pick... Bob W. --- This email has been checked for viruses by AVG. https://www.avg.com
