Both companies design good boats. Each of their boats has certain virtues in certain situations. The boat which is best for you depends as much on you as it does on the boat or the number of chines it has. If you can find someone locally who has built one of the designs, a test paddle would be the best way to make up your mind. You may want to look at my kayak building bulletin board. <http://www.guillemot-kayaks.com/cgi-bin/KBbbs.cgi> There are people there who have built and tried both.
