Need advise

[GoingPostal]

I am about to upgrade from a Wilderness Systems Ride. I am considering either a Cobra Fisn n Dive or the Malibu X factor. I've read all the reviews, I've sat and stared at both models, and while I've been on the Cobra, I can't find a local dealer for the Malibu. I'm a big guy and I dive and abalone out of my yak so the large capacity is a must. Has anybody paddled both, and if so some advise before I buy would be greatly appreciated. Thanks
