Just like the title says.

Which one you think is better? Why?

I know. It's not an apples to apples comparison. But I'd love to hear from folks who have seen these or built them, or considered them.

For me, the Osprey looks accessible. A kit can be bought for under $10k, but I'd worry that after also buying all the rivets, glue, etc etc etc, it's probably a lot more. Searay kit is $40k, but it's also a very experienced manufacturer, I would trust their design is really mature.

I love the Searay design, and judging from various videos, it seems to handle almost like an acrobatic plane.

Anyhow... I'm curious. What do you think?
