Default Discus verus Discus 2, LS8, ASW 28

The Discus 2 and ASW 28 are essentiall identical in performance,
followed by the LS-8 and finally original Discus. Check the handicaps!

Everyone agrees that the Discus 2 is the prettiest, though, although I
am biased!

How do these two gliders compare to one another? Is there a Discus 2x?
How does the original compare in todays competition world, LS8, Discus
2, ASW-28. Does the oringinal Discus give away any performance to the
current crop of gliders. Interesting to note that the LS8 is an LS6
with fixed flaps, therefore, it is still of the same generation of the
oringinal Discus, or is it?!
