[Paddlewise] Favorite Greenland-style paddles

As mentioned in an earlier message, I have a strong interest in a
Greenland-style paddle, but have little direct experience with them.

For various reasons, the two that have caught my eye are the Klatwa
from Feathercraft and the various Beatsie Bay models.  My preference
is for a 2-piece break-down Greenlander (the last thing I need is to
store and haul an eight foot wood stick).  I also don't feel like
building my own in the near future (any spare building time will go
into a stitch-and-glue kit from the likes of CLC or Pygmy).

Do PaddleWise subscribers have some favorites they would like to
suggest (along, of course, with the reason for their preference)?
Also, comments on either of my above "early interests" are welcome
too?
