[Paddlewise] Pygmy Coho vs. Arctic Tern advice requested (hard vs. multi-chine hull)

I am a soon to be first time wood kayak builder who is absolutely torn
between whether to buy the Pygmy Arctic Tern or Coho kits.  I live on the
east coast and paddle primarily in/around coastal waters of both the
Atlantic and the mouth of the Chesapeake Bay with plans for occasional
overnighters along the coast or intercoastal and a long term dream of
paddling the length of the Chesapeake Bay in a kayak which I built.  I am
6'1", 220 and a size 11 shoe.  I guess my biggest dilemma in choosing
between the two designs rests in performance differences of the hard chine
hull of the Arctic Tern and the multi-chine hull of the Coho.  Anybody have
experience with either of the kayaks, particularly the Arctic Tern?  I read
the Sea Kayaker review of the Coho from last winter.  Thanks!
