[Paddlewise] Pygmy Tern

Can anyone compare the Pygmy Tern to the Coho and give reasons why they would
buy one over the other??  I have a early model Coho as well as the Golden-Eye
and the double and would like to build another.  The Coho has a ton of room in
it for camping gear and is very stable in lite chop and winds, have not had it
out in waves over 1 1/2 ft., but the Golden-Eye handles wind and waves up to 3
1/2" very well, I concider myself a beginner ++ as I do not know how to roll
yet.

My only concern with the Pygmys' is the back rest, while comfortable for short
paddles, it leaves a little to be desired on long days.  I have looked at the
"Creature Comforts" by CLC and hope some of you can comment on the relitive
benefits of this seat and back combo or anything else that's out there.

I have just ordered hip braces from Phanitary Gear and would like any help or
sugestions on hip and knee braces, where to put them, how to install etc. 

Great list and thanks for all the info from all....
