Never done the Laser II thing. I guess they are hot enough. The only problem is it needs two to really get her going confidently. I myself like the fact that I can go out....by myself.....and scream at the top of my lungs at my boat when I'm flying......man what a feeling. I crew on a Thistle as well and even though they fly and you can get the same general feeling but when your out there on your own laser cranking you know its all you..... no-one else. 8)
Granted having a jib for upwind pinch and razor sharp taching is nice also can't forget the spin.
It's a crap shoot........I went with the laser.

Intresting, you just set a new world record
Just kidding, but be careful with using handheld GPS, they aren't as accurate as people believe them to be. The world record for the Laser class is 19.7 knots, set by Michael Blackburn on March 10th, 2005. The article is here.
