FWIW, I bought a breakdown bent shaft a few years back and have not regretted it. In fact I would not go back to a straight shaft. At 800grams it is among the lighter paddles in the touring range and gives me all the power I need in a full day's paddling. But like all carbon fibre gear, you need to treat 'em nice.
