Well,
I´ve got both. 300 hrs in the 24 and 300 in the 28 and I must say that I
was a little disapointed with the 28.
I think that the 24 climbs almost as well as any other glider. I´ve fown
it at the Britsh Overseas Nationals for two years with the 24 and another
two years with the 28 and I feel that the last one may be a little better
in very weak conditions and better in very strong weather if you fill it
up with almost 200 L of water !
As I live in Spain, we don´t have weak conditions for long periods so the
24 is just fine. Anyway you can also fly the 28 10 kms or more slower than
the 28.
I could say the 24 has been my best glider. If you fit in the cockpit
(smaller than the 24), you find one with the water bags in godd condition
and you won´t fly in very weak weather, it´s not worthy to buy a 28 as it
cost double.
I also find the 24´s roll rate better that the 28.
It always depends on the overall gilder conditions and the money you want
to spend.....
