Challenge bikes

Anyone ride a Challenge Mistral or Seiran? I am considering purchasing a recumbent as I am growing
tired of the microderm abrasion of my rear. I have ridden a Bacchetta Aero and one LWB recumbent.
I didn't care for the LWB but did like the Aero, even though the ride was short. My usual rides are
commuting (26 miles roundtrip), centuries and short organized rides. I do like the speed of my DF bike
and realize recumbents can be just as fast. I also like rides that include a lot of climbing. One of my
local rides is 15 miles long with a 3000+ foot elevation gain.

Any opinions and tips will be greatly appreciated.
