Hi fellar
We went through the same dilemma last year, sold our hardy seawings 254 and bought an avon 560 (not everyone's cup of tea but we've had a lot of fun).
I've got to admit I really miss waking up on the water but our we live in Harrogate and towing the cruiser was a real chew. We now have the rib, discovery, winch, front tow bar, and an inflatable tent ;-)
We did Cornwall this year and loved it
