You don't say how much experience you have, but both the ASW 20 and LS6
are flapped, and not suitable for low hours pilots.I have flown
neither,but I think if you spin either your first action is to select
negative flap.Otherwise your risk exceeding max flap speed,and if you
don't rip them off,as soon as you land you are in for an expensive trip
to the repair man.
Buy an LS8,put an extra 1000hrs in your log book and think again.

1.000 hrs before flying a flapped ship?
LMAO!

In my club 100 hrs total time and a completed 300 km task were the
requirement to fly the ASW-20L. Perfectly adequate.

In my club it was similar. After a 300 km task (the gliders were mostly
pegases for that) you could take an LS3 or similar flapped gliders, or
a janus.
