Strip: What kayak to build for my wife?

I finished the Night Heron for myself this summer and love it. Now I am gearing up to build a stripper for my wife. She's about 5'8" and 160 lbs and a skilled canoe paddler but a novice kayaker. I liked Nick's design and plans so am leaning toward the Guilemot for her. Any opinions? I am also considering The Silver or Spring Run. Can anyone compare these boats to the Guillemot? Are there any other boats I should consider?
Thanks,
Dale
