Seeking: Arctic Hawk or Outer Island?

I’m thinking about a “Greenland Style” boat for day paddling as my next project. The frontrunners on my list are the Arctic Hawk kit from CLC or the Outer Island from Jay Babina. I’d appreciate some feedback on either boat individually and I imagine the entire board would enjoy comparisons from people who have paddled both.

P.S. I’m 5’ 7”/ 165 lbs / size 8 shoes – both boats seem a little big for me so I'd welcome alternative suggestions as well.

Many Thanks,
