[Paddlewise] Folbot Greenland II ?

I've been reading the discussion and merits of the Feathercraft K-1, but
wonder if someone could comment on a comparison of an older Foldbot versus
the newer Greenland II.

My Foldbot is the two-seat Super which was bought in 1978. By this time
they had gone to the aluminum frame with wooden flooring and ribs. I have
enjoyed it for float trips in rivers near my location since buying it. But
reading about the newer Greenland II my appetite is whetted for a new
boat. Can anyone comment on handling differences and load capacity (read
camping equipment,etc.) between the two boats?

Thanks for any input.
