We'll start with the Wills Wing T2C at $8,285 which includes all their options.

The Aeros Combat L with the carbon speed bar and the LE inserts at $7,929.

The Airborne C4 with carbon speed bar and LE inserts at $8,589.

The Moyes RS with the Mylar sail, Zoom A frame with carbon base bar, and carbon inserts at $8,165

Icaro Z9 with Mylar sail, carbon A frame, carbon inserts, $11,356.

Have I done this correctly? Are these comparable configurations? Moyes allows for even more carbon for the leading edges if you like. Carbon battens are available for the Combat L, Litespeed RS and Z9 (which raise their prices). The WW T2C already comes with the stiffer 12 mm aluminum battens, so it may be fairer to compare gliders with carbon battens with the WW T2C. What do you think (you can do it yourself)?

Please send in any comments and corrections.
