I have been chewing on the same question for the past couple of months. Have you tried them? I took a Sunday and went down to OEX. They have each model you mentioned, and an outback available to rent and they put the cost towards a purchase.

I am pretty much the exact same size as you, and I did not like the revolution. It felt narrower than my trident, whereas the outback actually felt like it had elbow room. Places to put my stuff on deck. Rectangular hatch. That thing is amazing.

I plan to go down and try out the compass now that they have one available. That said, I like the looks of the seat on the outback more than I do the compass. Has a lot more options to it.
