Our club has one and it's generally well liked. Of the ships you listed
though, I'd opt for the 1-34--the performance is equivalent and it would
cost you less.
Why not a Libelle? It would be well within what your budget appears to be
and performs better than any of the ships you list.

We are evaluating gliders that our club might purchase. The L-33 looks
promising. What are the pros and cons of this glider? I know it performs
about as well as other club class gliders such as the Junior, PW5, and
1-34.
I have heard that the L-33 is prone to tail wheel damage. Any advice?

Thanks,
