feedback from Hobie peddlers please

I have a Prowler 15 which I love, but have been considering getting a Hobie. No, I haven't ridden one yet, so that should be my next to do. But I am looking for feedback from those of you that have a Hobie how you like it compared to the paddle yaks.

I am 6'5" and 230, and usually start having some low back pain and glute pain after being on the water for 8 hrs plus. In the summer I'll hop off the yak and swim around a bit and that seems to help just to stretch out, but don't really want to do that in the winter.

I was thinking that maybe the Hobie would be better in this regard as it looks like you sit a little more reclined, and use your legs to peddle, thus getting more circulation. Anyone else have this problem before, and what have you found that helped? Anyone that used to have a paddle yak and switched to a Hobie peddler? How do you like it? It does seem like they are a lot faster than my P15. Guess I should hit up FastLane and test drive.

Thanks for your input.
