Default Mistral-C vs DG-100

Hi all!
I know this kind of subject is boring and the gliders are old news but I am unable to decide which one to buy hence I am asking for help. There are so many other types but because I don't want to loose myself in too many details, I'd appreciate if you could help me compare this two only.

On one hand Mistral-C is:

+stable
+has a safe elevator
+has good visibility
+has both launching hooks
+some aerobatic ability
+easy rigging
but
-the landing gear is very close to the belly and I'm afraid it will be damaged in case of out-landing
-demand is not too high in case decide to sell

Unknowns:
Gel-coat resistance
Spare parts availability
Autonomy - how far can it fly

On the other hand DG-100 is:
+well known with still some demand (not sure)
+maintenance is there
+good gel-coat
+landing gear clearance is high
+better index +4
but
-visibility is poor for the 2 piece canopy (this is what I've found and for my budget)
-has all moving tail which I never flew and understand it is a safety concern
-belly hook only

Please add to this list.
Thank you,
Calin
