EZG very playful, CR great river boat works well in holes and on river waves great alpine boat, dagger looks just like the juice which wasnt that great in the first place so i would stick with wavesport LL or try the seven o from pyranha very playful a better river runner than the ezg!

The RX may look like the Juice but it is very different. For starter the bow is not swept up nearly as much which gives you a bow much easier to intiate. They have balanced the boat very well. I paddle with a bunch of guys and we paddle both the RX and the EZG. We have switched on the river numerous times are divided as to what boat we prefer. I think that it really comes down to the minute (spelling) of you paddling and personal preference when choosing between those two boats. They both feel great and play well on the river. I usually paddle the EZG and took a RX down a new 3+ section (for me) and still felt very comfortable for my first try in the boat. I have also taken the EZG down the same section later that day and really aside from the outfitting didn't notice that either performed better. I suppose the EZG has three sizes and the RX has only two so you may find a better suiting to your weight range in one or the other. As far as the other boat you have enquired about I haven't paddled it so I hope this helps with the other two.

I used to have a LL CR125 i had it for a few months and then replaced it with a Jackson Fun. First impressions of the CR were good. With nice outfitting, very comfortable and seemed to be pretty solid plastic. Whilst i don't dispute the play credentials of the boat, it was very slow and had a tendancy to wander off line on the river. I think this was mainly due to the play boaty spin disc on the hull and a lack of grippy edges. Obviously these are just my observations, different boast for different people. I have however found that my Jackson is a great combination of play and river running.

Hope this is of some help.

From the start i have paddled the CR125 on hard water found it tracks really well and for the size of the thing was fast enough on I have paddled it down austrian alpine class 4 with a big 5 and the boat held up well and went where i asked it to go even in massive volume or on the steeper more technical runs
