Lemmie throw in another .02 for the level front floor and front storage seat. If you're on your feet most the day pitching to pocket water and whatnot the level front floor is a real back saver. Really makes a difference. Also makes for a little less stumbling around up front, which makes rowing and keeping the boat trim that much easier.

And the front storage seat area is perfect for those life jackets you'll never use, bulkier rain gear, bbq, etc.

But if you have to pick between the level floor and storage under the seat, go with the floor. Of course this is just one opinion from a sometimes uncoordinated guy with a tricky back.
