Default What do you think of the 20 Meter 2 Seat Class?

Doing the math for you via the FAA database:

Number of registered Pw-5s - 71
Combined number of DuoD and DGs1000 - 47


Similar ratio in New Zealand: 9 Duo Discus and 3 DG 1000 vs 17 PW5s.


Not to mention that most Duo and DGs in US are used by money hungry
FBOs and are in-accessible for club folks.


All the DG1000's in NZ are now in clubs (2 Wellington, 1 Fielding),
and I think 2 of the Duos.
