You've hit on something really critical to me and my paddling comfort level. I will take a boat with strong secondary stability over anything else, particularly with my whitewater boat. You're never flat, you're always on the secondary stability. The more secondary stability, the further over you can lean it, which makes you more maneuverable. Same goes with my sea kayak, but in a different way. Going up the wave secondary stability makes it get more and more stable as it climbs the wave.
