Congrats on your purchase. I went through the same back and forth trying to decide. I don't have this same kayak but I do have an Advanced Elements Advanced Frame single kayak and I am sold. I can change vehicles without having to have carriers installed and that's the biggest thing for me. Takes a few more minutes to set up but then it's great. I'm not trying to win races either but they are stable and track well. You are going to have lots of hours of fun in that!
