Many things enter into buying and keeping any kayak(that's why there is 
so many brands and models), however I can tell you this, folbot is a 
great company to do buisness with. They have a good product, great price 
and are fair people to work with.
I have a kodiak that I would not sell for three times the price I paid, 
IF I could not get anouther one. It is a good single!
Folbot has a policy that says, if you buy it and don't like it, well just 
send it back. My suggestion would be to by yourself a kodiak(there is a 
sale going on right now), but be prepared to keep it(you'll like it).

cheers,

James(and my super or aleut isn't for sale either)
