Cost: You can save $300 by not having to buy KajakSport hatches. The rest is about the same. You spend slightly less probably.

Time: You don't have to worry about the fiddly parts of building, like the coaming, hatches, seams, bulkheads, etc... Gunwales are easy to install, so I'd guess 60% of the time spent on a kayak.
