OK, I am NOT really SERIOUS here, and not trying to piss anyone off, but after just getting off the Cig website.
Is Cigarette an apparel manufacturer that makes Boats? OR
Is Cigarette a Boat manufacturer that makes apparel?
Again, I say this ONLY IN GEST.

Does Outerlimits race???
Ride quaility have to give it to the AT. I have been in both in moderate rough water (4-6). The AT landed much softer, turned much better. Now can they both handle the rough stuff...HELL YES....Resale, heritage, name recognition and all the other stuff that goes alng with owning a Cig then you have to go that way. If it was my dollars spending on a new boat I'd have to go the AT route. Dont ge me wrong I love Cigs. I think their classic look is timeless.
It's all about personal prefernce and what you like. You really can't make a bad choice here.

WOW! That was a forecast and a half! Docker you should be a palm or tarot card reader.
I beleive there are suitable equities on both sides of the fence. It is amazing that there is always room for another boat manufacturer. Consider how many auto manufacturers there are and in relationship there are approximately 500 boat manufacturers! Always room for JELLO?
I'm biased. Cigarette. Imagine that.

Remember the cereal commercial where they 'Ask Mikey"?
Why not ask Mikey? (oh, and his girls!) Who cares about which boat I'll take the girls as they will give the best ride!

Bill-
I have an AVH with HP500EFIs coming in this week off trade.. I hope to get my hands on it. then I'll let you know my opinion.
Oh, and 2-3' "confused"...should be nothing in either of these boats.

Just rode the AT at All Pro. It was kinda rough Saturday around noon - boat rode quite well. Although THAT particular boat needs some TLC. My 3 year old PQ looks newer and better maintained than that AT w/ 4 hours on the clock!!
However, I have wanted a Cig since I was 12. I think that I must follow my heart. Thanks for all the input. Now I gotta find me a TG TS.
