Default DG Differences...

Nobody mentioned the obvious yet: If you're not after pure performance,
the "feel" of a glider will be far more important than 5% performance.
Some pilots just like flaps, others just hate them. You may prefer "the
feel" of one glider, an other pilot may prefer "the feel" of a different
glider. Go fly both and decide which one you prefer.
