TODAY Fountain Cust Svc told me that they bottoms were the same in '05 forward. The performance should be identical. SO WHY are there so many more Lightning than Ex out there when Lightning is so much more expensive?

You won't crush waves, but rather skip over them. The faster you go the better it will ride which takes some getting used to.
Test ride one first and you will answer your own question. Happy shopping

I can see the negatives for a big boy in a Fountain.

Lightnings have more headroom and you can get TV, A/C, Genset, all the stuff that breaks unless you run with Petunia's on the table and a washer dryer
