Really nice vario. Smooth response and I find the 2.2 second time
constant just about right for confirming a thermal worth banking for.
I like flying with one.

I find the SAGE 2.25 to be a solid instrument. However,
because the needle and dial are deeply set behind the
glass you must have it mounted so that you are looking
dead center at the instrument. I also wish it had
non-reflective glass because there are many times I
can not read the instrument because of reflections.
After one season I took it out and am happier with
a good old Winter.

If it's going to be your only vario, don't get the
Sage, but instead,
get something with an audio. Without an audio, you'll
spend too much
time looking at the vario and not enough time looking
outside for lift
and other aircraft; or, you'll miss some good lift
as you fly through it
while looking around.
