I've no experience with the others but have paddled the Glider and bought
the Impulse- also by Seda.  If acquired during their Christmas special a
Seda boat can be had for quite cheap, relatively speaking.  That is, you can
get a well made kevlar boat for a price that would be good for a glass boat.
That they are assembled ( I'm told) in Mexico where labor is cheaper
probably accounts for the pricing.  The Impulse is plenty big enough for a
whale of a lot of gear, quite fast and well balanced in cross winds.  I
preferred it to the Glider for a general purpose fast touring kayak.
