Default Ailerons or not??

I'm training on a glow plane with an instructor now. Almost ready to solo.
I have sand pits near my house that would allow me to get out and fly more often.
I'm looking at an electric glider that I could use at this site. Glow is not an option here.
Hand launch, power up to altitude and soar a bit, Landings in the sand might roughen up the bottom but I thought I could deal with that.

Mutiplex easy glider - ailerons, good but it comes with a brushless motor. is that a deal killer?

Aspire - comes with a brushed moter but it doesnt have ailerons.

I flew 3 channel gliders 15 years ago and I'm thinking I will prefer having the ailerons.

Whats more important? the brushed motor in the aspire or the ailerons in the Multiplex?

Any other options in this price range?


Thanks for any info..

Steve
