As you noted, for river running the smaller is going to be more sensitive to current, holes, etc. That said, you're talking about a class of boat where try-before-you-buy (especially at a new price) is absolutely critical. I would definitely do comparison paddling (recommend the Jackson 4Fun - switched to that from the Fuse).
