Strip: Pygmy Coho vs Night Heron or Petrel

I have a Pygmy Coho and am interested in a comparison by anyone who has paddled both the Coho and the Night Heron or Petrel. I am interested in both the Heron or Petrel but am interested in how they paddle vs a boat that I am very familiar with (the Coho). I really do not have the choice to try either of Shade's designs so I am hopeful that someone can relate either of these boats to something I do know. I am a great lakes paddler which means short steep waives when the wind is up.
