If your going to be racing at hobie sanctioned events then go with a hobie tramp. It is worth it to have your boat all class legal. If you try to get away with the cheaper trampoline and someday you go to a regatta and there is a 14 class there is a chance someone would say something. Probably only if you were competitive though. Why bother having to worry about that? I had a problem with people saying my sails weren't class legal on my 18 this summer. Even though they have all the hobie logos and etc. It was definatley not a fun time and I had to go through the hassle of getting a letter of approval and everything. Not worth the time.
