Anybody who has flown both gliders from the front seat has to agree the
DG-1000 is much nicer.
The Duo has the annoying opening between the pilot's elbows and the backseat
occupant's feet.
You can't really carry anythig in the front seat at all.
The DG is well ahead in comfort.

As an option Schempp-Hirth is offering covers on the backseat rudder
pedals that are also nice elbow rests for the front seat.
