Very nicely put BMatthews.
Now, if I haven't scared you away lets get back to the models....
On the contrary after reading your description I am sad it has taken me this long to get into the gliding aspect of the hobby.
The easyglider has 7.6 oz/sq ft
The Spectra has 10.7 oz/sq ft
When it comes to gliding 7.6 would be better no?
''speck of dust'' range.
Scares me. Been there a couple of times and I'm a little nervous about going there on a regular basis. Is it a correct assumption that having the Polyhedral and, the stability that it provides, makes these plane better even with the heavier loading.
I do like to build but, I am building an Japanese Oscar, and I have a Sig KK on deck, although it has been there awhile.
Thanks for help

Once you hook up to a thermal then you will be hooked! I have thermaled a Stick 40 that had 6" wing extensions, one flight in 2 different thermals for a total duration of ~1.5 hours! Go to a sailplane fly and snoop around. Personally, I wish I hadn't spent time and money on the polyhedral ships and just started with full house non- powered scale sailplanes (which is what I like best) but then you will need a way to get 'em up there! Pick your poison!
