I've been in my Revo 13 for about 6 months now and enjoy it. Is it perfect, no.
Does it have advantages, yes. Does it have limitations, yes. Coming from a tarpon 120, I find it a bit more involved and less simplistic, but I still can paddle the revo. Does it paddle as well as my old tarpon 120 or other kayaks that I've paddled, no.
Biggest pros: I can drink beer, eat a sandwich and pedal
Once hooked up, I can chase down a fish if needed. I can easily fish areas without using my drift chute, by utilizing the mirage drive.
Biggest cons: Kelp. I can still fish the kelp, but I have to pull some cords! Additional maintenance required with the mirage drive. I miss having storage access right in front of me vs the mirage drive.
Speed wise, I think its a toss up. I have the ST fins, not turbo and can troll no problem and can sprint if needed. Distance isn't an issue. But for those that have a fast hull design and know how to paddle, they can fly.
It's all preference.
