Gordo,
I'm not gonna banter back and forth with you cause clearly they are two different skiffs in different price points...
I think your case better suits other brands like a ghenn,inshore,etc..
You can't compare the two as they are different lengths, price points, materials & methods, and how the base price is set-up...not to mention design which is also clearly different.
I'm glad your happy with your skiff but your view is different than mine so let's agree we disagree. Cool?
And to answer your question I'm both to the suit bro...
But at the end of the day we all put our pants on the same way I just happen to like mine made/look different than yours.

;D
