Thanks, Sod! I'm definitely going to try out the Coho, Arctic Tern 17, and Murrelet along with the Osprey. I have the numbers from the Sea Kayaker reviews for the other boats ... just not the Osprey / Goldeneye. I do know that I won't really see what the boats are truly like until I can make my way to Port Townsend to try them ... but doing comparisons, crunching numbers, and charting things in a spreadsheet just makes me happy, and is something I enjoy while biding my time.

I'm not wanting an expedition-level amount of volume, though I would like to be able to do a long-weekend kayak camping trip now and then.

Also, there is a part of me that is really interested in building from plans, lofting from the offsets etc ... and if I build a Pygmy, I'll have to do either the Goldeneye or the Queen Charlotte if I want to build from plans. So I'd just like a look at the numbers, so I can compare to the other Pygmys in my geeky little spreadsheet world, lol. I also have the One Ocean kayaks that I was able to calculate resistance numbers for due to the designer providing all the needed values on his website. That One Ocean Cirrus looks pretty amazing as well ...
