i just got rid of my pro angler because i have back issues ,i do not suggest getting one just for that reason..I did my research and purchased a revo based on weight and speed and being able to use the mirage drive .I hear the outback is not as fast ,so therefore you will put more effort into the paddling or peddling .The more effort in these motion =the more strain on the back .This is just my experience ,and this is what i thought was best for me .

Had a Revo for almost a year. Got an Outback now. REVO much easier to handle loading and unloading, it feels much lighter and less awkward. Outback has sooooo much more room on deck, for fishing platform much better. I tested the speed thing often between the two boats and the difference is almost nothing. IF anything, in rough chop the Revo slices through the waves a little easier with less slap.

If weight and ease of handling/ back problems is the main concern go with the Revo.
