I use the Chironomid and I love it! It's stable, incredibly light and moves really well through the wind.
I fished out of a canoe for years before getting the Chironomid and this boat just makes the experience better (especially the seat). I've had it since the beginning of the summer and have been testing it out as much as possible to get a sense of what it excels at. It's a good boat if you're on a windy lake. I took it out on a boat that I'm normally hesitant to take my canoe on a month or so back and instead of spending my time worrying about whether I would be able to make it back to the launch, I actually had a good time. I was actually surprised at how easy it cut through the wind and chop. It's going to make a few lakes that much more pleasant to fish from.
It's also good for lakes with slightly tricky access, like with a fence all around it or there's a bit of a walk to the boat launch (I have both near me). The boat is light enough to carry no problem at all. Way more so than my canoe. And once you've done it a couple of times, set up is a breeze.
I look at this boat as my solo boat now. I've never had a pram or anything like that, so this boat filled that gap nicely.
