CLC vs Pygmy...

I have decieded to add a stich and glue to my stable of kayaks, the problem for me is which one? I have a couple of years on the lakes in a rec boat, a year and a half on whitewater in a squirtboat and "duckie". I'm a husky built guy,5"11'and I weigh around 215(ok maybe 230). I'm looking for a fun project, which will result in a beautiful boat. I plan to use the boat on lakes at first but would like to make trips to larger lakes or the ocean on occasion( I live in Colorado). Comfort and stability is more important to me than speed.

CLC or Pygmy? They both seem to be good companys, I'm leaning toward the CLC chesapeake 17 or 18. Im sure this has been discussed before so if you would rather, please feel free to email me directly.Thanks all, Im glad I found this BB.
