S&G: Hard Chine vs Multi Chine

I am currently paddling a 18" 6" glass boat with a rounded bottom, very little rocker and no keel to speak of except at the bow and stern. I am hoping to build a S&G this winter and maybe a stripper in the future.

I am hoping I can find a S&G that will be more manoueverable then my glass boat, understanding that I will have to give up some tracking.

What performance differences should I expect between a S&G hard chine and multi chine in comparison to my glass boat (or round bottom stripper)?

Thanks, grant
