Oldtown loon 126 vs WS pungo 140

I've been canoeing and Kayaking since the early 70's. Mostly white water. Got into sailing when my kids were little. Want to get back into paddling with my wife it's new for her. Been looking at getting a couple of old town loon 126s. Saw a deal on a Wilderness systems pungo 140 at LL bean. Looks nice at 200 dollars less. Anyone have an opinion? I like the three layer of the loon but like the longer pungo at 14 feet. Thinking the loon has better built in foam layer flotation and being shorter ar 12.5 feet might be better for rivers like the Mahoning. Thinking of getting one of each or 2 loons. I live near mosquito lake. So will being doing paddling there a lot of too.

Looking forward to seeing folks in the club and paddling together.
