If you got the space, look for an older TI, can always upgrade the seat to an Attwood, which I prefer over the newer Vantage seats.
I keep around a Revolution 11. Love it for short hops, easy to load in my car hatchback or truck. Can usually manhandle for launching.

Interestingly enough, the two times I've been out with friends, they've had no problem keeping up with me in the older AI (2010). I was expecting to just smoke them, but the two boats seem to be pretty evenly matched in open water. But this might be because I'm a lousy sailor.
I'd been shopping for a while and really really wanted a TI, and would have settled for an older one too, but never saw one come up in my price range.
I had to sell my Revo 13 to fund the new boat, but I still have a little paddle kayak that I can use for dinking around.
