[Paddlewise] Modern Greenland Paddle

I have new narrow blade graphite Eddyline Windswift and a new wood Superior Greenland paddle.  Both 7'6".  I studied VanDoren's Greenland style video and use that technique with both paddles.  While the wood paddle is better for sculling moves, the lighter graphite is more pleasant for long distances.

Has anyone else experience with both modern and old-fashioned Greenland style paddles?  Please don't consider esthetics in your comparison, only paddling feel and utility.
