I am just the opposite. I had a OK Trident 15 and a Wilderness Tarpon 160.
Both were great kayaks with tons of interior storage and plenty of deck space. Both paddled and tracked great. That being said, they were both BIG kayaks. And I tended to carry a lot more stuff than I do now on my Hobie Revo (which is still way too much, according to my heterosexual life partner and fishing buddy, Tim, who fishes a stock ol' skool Tarpon 160i with only a couple of Flush mounts, a milk crate, two 3600 Plano boxes, and maybe three rods on a good day) which is still loaded out with more Plano boxes and rods than most respectable bass boats or 19 foot center consoles you will hunting fresh or saltwater bass (or YT and butts) in SoCal.
Bottom line is, nothing is perfect off the rack. Is space more limited on a Revo? Absolutely. But I have mine rigged to hold 4-6 3600 boxes and 4 of 3500 boxes inside the 8" middle hatch without moving out of the seat. And I could easily add another storage bin under left side of the seat to hold an additional 2-3 3600 size boxes. But that would just be excessive...
A little creativity goes a long way...
