Above is a periodically updated comparison table for what I consider the better touring inflatable kayaks based on the sort of boats this website covers: longer boats with room for gear paddled solo or two-up for inshore cruising or up to Grade 2 white water.
Generally they are open boats which can be switch between solo or tandem and only one is a slow-drying shell & bladder (which is also a self-bailer). Loads more on everything in the book.
