Shannon,
I hope to have a demo report on the Option in about 5 weeks. When I paddle it, I'll ask myself "would Shannon like this boat, smile or frown, bikini top superman thong and board shorts or dry top and long pants, would she carry it back up and do Bayless Boof three times?"
I don't know the water you are boating there, so perhaps this is not a good suggestion, but given the feedback on the boat a Sith (or two) could be the only non-creek specific C1's you'd need to spruce up the fleet.
Hopefully one day someone will make a user-friendly C1 creek boat (I don't own a fink (yet, I'm trying!), but from what I've read and heard though it is a creek boat it really doesn't fit that description.).
