If these were the only choices I had I would go with the Salto, lighter, almost half the wing loading, slightly shorter wing but V tail (reduced drag).
In "low" wind though I am not sure either design will be much fun. Just my 2 cents.

I was going with the Salto too until I read reviews in RC groups saying it flies horrible
How about this one?

You're better off if you can go a little bigger. Bigger stuff flies better especially in light air. I'm not sure if it's the same Blanik but one about that size was reviewed in QFI a couple of years ago. The reviewer seemed to like it well enough.

RE: Blanik or Salto?
I bought the BlanikL23 106", also another glider for light wind conditions.
Now I wont be tempted to fly the Blanik unless its 15mph or more.
So when its 15mph wind , how does the Blanik flies?
How does it lands?
Tips for building it
Where exactly is the CG
Are there any reviews online?
Thanks
