These points are not on your list but they have a really nice interior with current style and you can get them in relatively "new" model years, and most have a nice color scheme. (dont know how important any of this is to you)
I was scared to post something like this 'cos it's not on his list!
If bias is ok on this forum, I agree with Torch LK.

Haha before I purchased my 27 ZR I did a lot of looking around for probably 8-10 months. I did like the superboat a lot but they were extremely hard to find. I thought the donzi was a good "all-around" package and it worked for me. I have about 700hp in mine

Thats my experience from owning-rigging-and racing (in or against) these hulls. I have 800hp in my 27 and it runs a real 100 everyday. Can take my hands off the wheel at 95.
A lot of other really great running boats out there, but those are damn hard to beat. Iv'e been lucky enough to run Activators, Velocity, Progressions (24LD, 27LD and 29), Fountains (27s, 29s single and twin), Warlocks and a few other seriously fast singles. I wouldnt trade my Kryptonite for any of them. Good luck with your decision, at the end of the day you really can't go wrong. Be careful with Fountains, we have replaced 5 Fountain transoms in the past 2 years because of the exhaust tips they used.
Take that green turd down to Sarasota and run your mr whipple 800 against uncle will's 600 30 and lets see what's what. LOL lol

Don't forget the 29 Sunsation. They are a truly amazing boat with top notch quality! Owned mine for a few months now and still find things that truly make me think the quality of the build was done with a passion!!
