Great review - honest and unbias report. I totally agree on your revo vs outback comparison (fun vs pract). I found it was hard to decide between the 2 and finally chose the fun/sleek/low-otw revo and after 4 yrs still love it. I'm 6'4", 207lb, age 66 and go 6-8mi once or twice a week. My only regret is in regard to hooping - wish I had the extra deck space and wider hull of an OB for carrying/pulling nets. PS- After using the mirage drive several times you learn to pedal silently- just takes a little time & practice. Thanks for the super report!
