It's kind of like the difference between road and mountain biking, or XC versus downhill vs tele skiing. Different but still fun. One advantage is that lower grade rapids are more challenging without the inherent danger when you swim. Class 2 in my old ME solo canoe is about like Class 3 in my WW kayak. You're right about the gear hauling capacity. Someone has to paddle the barge- canoeor raft- for those kayak trips!
