You stated that *PW-6 is in the different league than K-21. Why?
Since you flown both of them, *I'm sure it will be easy to justified

Could you share it with us ? Please.

It's just my humble opinion. *To me the ASK-21 feels more solid, more
rugged. *The ASK-21's larger wing seems to hold on to weak lift better
and the controls are better harmonized. *The 21's cockpit is bigger.
I love the docile stall behavior.

Another factor is the rear cockpit. We (TSA) evaluated a PW-6 early
on (2003?). Most instructors disliked the rear cockpit. It very much
felt like an afterthought: cramped, poor forward visibility and
communication with the front-seater because of the tall instrument
panel. We now own three ASK-21's. They earn their keep.
