I bought a Delta 12.10 2 years ago as my first kayak and love it. Of course, I guess it depends what type of kayaking you are planning on doing. So far we've used our Deltas in lakes all across Alberta, BC, Montana and Idaho and they track great! We've also done some river kayaking but mostly in slower current waters. Very stable and like I said, excellent tracking. Comfortable adjustable seat and footrests. Love the front and rear hatches which are easy to acess and close and offer plenty of storage room for weekend trips. The other thing I love is how light they are because I only weigh in at 100 pounds but can carry mine a short distance by myself which is great! Haven't taken them out on a sea journey yet, but I am positive that they will be stable enough to check out the broken island group this summer. We've had some of our novice friends check them out and they immediately comment on how straight they track and how much stability they offer. Of course, it's my first kick at kayaking, but I love my Delta and would buy another! If you are looking for a lighter kayak, this is a great recreational kayak that is solid, stable and tracks as straight as an arrow.
