Welcome to the soaring community! Use the search function and you will find may threads (and opinions) on this subject. The most common advice is buy the best you can afford and don't discount the trailer, it is very important.


I'll also add that since you fly in the UK much ownership there is done by
syndicates. Ask around your club to see if anyone wants to take you on as
another owner on their plane.

All variants of the Discus are kind to the pilot and would be suitable for someone with LS-4 experience. I fly a Discus 2 and its benign handling has saved my bacon a few times when I got sloppy.
