Plywood Walrus deck design help

Time to decide what shape to make the deck on my plywood Walrus. I'm thinking flat behind the cockpit and cambered in front using bulkheads and deckbeams to bend to. Kind of like the CLC but without any curve on the back deck to improve rolling.

I also liked the 3 piece deck on Chris Cunninghams boat at R2K but looks a little harder.

Any thoughts or reccomendations??

BTW I still haven't ruled out a 2 pc peaked deck. Indecision??.....Me?? :)
