Default Discus 2B Flight Characteristics?

Hi, can you give more details about this? I've been thinking about getting the Icare 2.5M Discus 2B:

and I'm planning to use it mainly at inland slopes that have a combination of slope and thermal lift. So good thermally characterisitics would be great, but I also want to do basic aerobatics like split-S and cuban 8's. I also generally prefer snappy roll response so do you thing the polydedral tips will adversely affect this? The last thing I want is a ship that rolls like a dog. Thanks!
