Default Twin astir 2 or Marianne C201

That might be a great glider until it needs maintenance or repair. If parts are no longer available, it can be a real pain to have them custom fabricated. At which point it might be so expensive or troublesome that an ASK-21 might have been a better deal. The things I'd worry about a

* Is there a troublesome lifetime limit like the Pegasus?
* Can you get parts?
* Can you get maintenance/service information?
* Can you get someone to work on it?

Thanks, Bob K.

Hello to all.
If anyone has experience with this two gliders I would be grateful for any feedback. I'm planning to buy twin seater and C201 sounds good but I don't know anything but wiki data. Also, I'm 194cm tall so this should be taken into consideration.
