Which 18m FES sailplane to buy?

It would be great if we could get some feedback of how this glider behaves at slow speeds, and in thermals, what's it's climbing performance and especially handling. Does it require a lot of work and concentration from the pilot to keep it circling at low speeds? Does it do unannounced spins? What's the feel in general? I have no doubt it's a good jumper, my questions are mostly about climbing and handling. If anyone gets to test it and compare it to other gliders it would be great, cause I might be considering buying this glider. Other variant is a LAK-17c-FES 18m self-launch, or an older ventus 2cM.
There was a small amount of chatter about that in an old thread "My
September 2017 visit to GP Gliders" If you want the whole scoop,
probably should take a trip to Poland for a test flight yourself, GP has
been a little slow to ship products.
