For thermal flying the Alps is on the heavy side at over 15 oz/sq ft . The Kunlun is no lightweight either at 14 oz/sq ft.

If you're after a hotliner then either would be fine. But as a model that will be relaxing to soar and that will be capable in lighter lift conditions both of these fall short by a lot due to the wing loading unless you're an expert at thermal soaring.

But since you didn't mention what style of flying you're looking at it's hard to say if these are the right model for you or not.
