As the boats get bigger they have to be heavier unless you want a structurally unsound kayak or you want to give up a lot of features and lower cost that comes from RotoMolding instead of Thermoform.
OEX MB should be receiving our Demo any day as well and we already have inventory of these boats on the way,. As mentioned above these are made by the same company as Ocean kayak so no worry on quality. Just like buying a Perception (owned by CWS who owns Wilderness).
