What other sailboat would you own?

Behind every boat purchase (or most any other purchase) there is one or more criteria* important to the buyer. I bought a Cape Dory for its heavy weather sailing capability. In heartbeat, I'd buy a Vertue 25 or 27 or SCOD 26 or BCC to meet the same criteria. Indeed, by that criteria I think each of the above four boats is better. For that matter a Great Dane 28 is almost certainly a better boat as well.
The problem?
Save the BCC, none of those others come up for sale. And the BCC is simply off the meter as far as price goes.
*Some people like the shear, some the hull shape, others the bronze portholes, and on other boats the high tech mast(s), or microwave, or bathtub, or queensize bed, or the wide space left to right, or the tiled fireplace, or whatever. Me, I like a boat that can take a hit at sea.
