If it went away, I'd probably buy a Solstice GTS (perhaps from Debbie after she builds the Outer Island). I think I'm a little better at handling the narrower boat now, and I really like all the interior of the Solstice as well as the performance for me. There may be other, better boats for me but I'm not sure I'd have the patience to seek one out. Now, if I could keep my current boat and still get a pile of money and the time to search for a "better" boat, ah then the search could really be fun. (Dream on, Leonhardt!!!)
