Best Overall Motorglider available today?
That is a curious statement. The Austro Wankel seems to be measurably more reliable than the Rotax as installed in the DG.
I will agree that tows are far more economical - provided you can get one. Of the four Great Basin soaring operations, 4 out of 4 experienced some period of reduced tow availability this year, a trend that is increasing.

If economics are at all an issue just buy a proper sailplane and get a tow: it's a FAR FAR cheaper way to fly.
