That was probably an overstatement; I meant as compared
to the HPDA. I have not flown a 19 or 28. I fly a
Discus B and a G-103 regularly, along with Blanik L-23s
for instructing. The Blaniks are the worst, and not
glass, of course. A fully locked rudder slip won't
allow much opposite aileron before it starts to turn
off course. Of course, that is not glass, (and I almost
made an anadiplosis there.)

Forward slip in glass gliders won't get you much descent;

The ASW-19 and ASW-28 have a huge increase in sink
rate in a full
rudder slip compared with airbrakes alone. What glass
gliders are
you flying that do not slip well? Can you maintain
a full rudder
slip, and I mean rudder on the stop and never comes
off it until you
choose to exit the slip?
