It all depends what you prefer. Some people love it some don't.
If you want a responsive wing like an Aquilla then the Spirit isn't the wing for you.
The Spirit is a rock steady wing in turbulance and has a good speed range. You can do a lot of tight stuff with it but it requires a little more work.
But if you want a cruising wing that has a nice speed and is rock solid in turbulance then the Spirit is a good wing.
I have never flown with anything other than a Aquilla. But I have flown a Stranger wing from the backseat using training bars which is said to be like a Spirit. The Stranger was a lot more 'heavy' but I actually liked it. But a lot of people have flown all sorts of wings and all I have told you is from hanger talk.
My belief is that one should fly the wing before you buy it as everyone has a differing opinion.
Hope this helps

PS: Aerotrike no longer makes the Spirit instead they make the enerG which is a replica of the Spirit just more updated.
