If the PA feels unstable if moving around the deck the Outback is going to be worse. There is a lot less deck area to need to access, so you shouldn't need to move around as much. The Outback is a lot lighter but all Hobies weigh a lot more than other brands in the same size catagory. You just have to decide if peddaling is better for you then Paddling. If you want to have an easier time with the hauling around weight than get an Outback or other brand (wide 31" to 33") for stability and simply add the outriggers that can be added to them to make them supper stable. There are aftermarket outrigger (small side pontoons) like Scotty and Hobie even has them. They are detachable, some use Scotty mounts, so when you don't want then on there isn't a thing to get in the way. The add ons sound more like what you need and hardly weigh anything and you could even add them to your PA. Hobie sells the add on as a Sidekick AMA kit.
