There are several guys in the area with Jackson Kayaks. My wife and I each had Coosa's and they were sold a few months ago. The only kayaks we currently own are the Hobie Pro Angler, Hobie Revolution, and Tarpon 120. We have possession of a Commander 120 to see how we like it. I have made up my mind to not buy another kayak until I have researched it extensively, and paddled it in several different bodies of water, in different conditions.

Remember there is no "perfect, do it all kayak" you can make a kayak do about anything but it won't perform at it's best if it wasn't designed to do that.

Example: I can stand in a Tarpon 120, but it wasn't designed for that, I can stand and fish from a Ride 115, or 135, and those boats were designed for that in mind. I can fish a large lake on a Jackson Coosa, but if I want to do it do it more successfully then I would use a Cuda. Most manufacturers have boats that are better suited or designed for particular type of fishing.
