I had the outback first, loved it. got the pa12 and love it. I kept the outback for a spare kayak, also thinking I would take it over the pa on days when the surf is big but the pa goes anywhere the outback went.
You cant go wrong with either. I can carry the outback with one hand and it is a great fishing platform. pa12 is a bit more work to load but in the back of a truck is no prob. pa12 is more comfortable especially for longer days+ stand up to stretch out is nice. I load both in a long bed truck with toolbox no prob. 2 pa's would be a bit tough though. on the storage side of things the out back is much less trouble to move around the garage and although they are close in dimensions the outback seems to take up way less space.
You will find a lot more outback's to pick from and for quite a bit less $. Get the pa if you plan on going often and or long trips.
Hope this helps and good luck with your purchase.
