Could have something to do with how many have been
produced!
Roughly twice as many Discus 2's as ASW28's , and probably
3 times as many LS8's. (all models).
Seem to be quite a few 28's for sale on segelflug.de
at the moment!

Face it the 28 has just not had the contest success
of the Discus 2 or LS8 - even Waibel admitted it's
intial sales were a disappointment (but improved by
the addition of the 28-18 model).
