If you like the feeling you get driving a bus and have everyone but the
helmsman watching where you have been rather than where you are going, get
the Lagoon. Otherwise I would much prefer the Bendytoe.
(But for that kind of money you can find some much better boats for long
distance cruising.)

A new Beneteau 473 costs about the same as a new Lagoon 380S2
(between $300,000 and $350,000).

They're built by the same group of companies (Groupe Beneteau).

And according to http://www.cruisingcatsusa.com/whyacat.php3
they also have approximately the same amount of interior space
(although the Lagoon has more cockpit space).

If you could get either of these boats for free (with a free slip)
which one would you choose ?
