Anyone paddled the M3 from pyranha?

I need a new creek boat. The new M3 looks good, but so does the H3. What are the differences? The H3 looks good, but I'm more into steeper technical stuff and would rarely get the big water advantages of the H3 and it seems just a little too big for some of our runs.

What other creek boats are looking good for the over 6', and (slightly) over 200lbs paddler?

I know this belongs on the gear page, but there just isn't enough traffic there.

Any local shops have either of these boats to Demo?

I only paddled it twice and seemed pretty good. I can only compare it ot a gus which I really like. I paddled the 243 so I was on the smaller side. It has decent speed, easy to boof. It tracked really well if not too well there was one time I really needed to turn and it seemed hard to turn. Other than the manuverability seemed as good as the gus. Really stable. Overall good boat I dont know if I will jump out and buy one right away.
