Thanks Tony, thats what I was looking for. I love the libelle but though there are some exceptional libelle drivers out there, it seems they just can’t get high up there with the tasking and the present assigned handicap. It looks like the asw20 is the way to go. I can’t afford the discus or the 8 lol. How does the asw19 stack up?

Mid range, like '19, LS-4, maybe Discus, is a good place to be. Lower performance ships have a slight following advantage, but not quite as much range..
Keep in mind that Std in the US has limited handicapping so something like an LS-4 or Discus, or ASW-24 can be competitive in Std, Club, and Sports. 3 classes with one ship.
FWIW
