Good Used Boats are hard to come by so, You definitely had to go with the best condition boat for the money. If you catch the Racing bug, One advantage with the H16 is that there will be more oportunities to Race one-design. Even though the Nacra is more of a performance boat, I've never found it a lot of fun to race against portsmith numbers. Once you get some experience on the H16, you'll have to step up to an F18. Then you'll have the same debate on your hands: Nacra F18, Hobie Tiger, Capricorn, Infusion. Have Fun!!!
