I can tell you that you are out of the water with an Escape, but unless they did some major changes to the SFC you sit ON the water, not out. But that also depends on your weight. I was out of the water with my SFC on glass smooth water, and not moving.
The Escape, the bottom of the inflatable seat is out of the water. Now a good wave can put a little in the seat, I guess. Can't say as it did when I used it, again, depends on weight. I do think the bigger you are, the more it will effect the SFC, and probably very little on the Escape.
I have had both. I liked the storage area behind the seat on the SFC. If this is not an issue then the Escape is great. The Escape does have HUGE bags. Plus, you can row if the wind kicks in hard and heavy.
Depending on your size, you will row with bend legs. And try to slide the side bags back as far as you can so you don't clip them when rowing.
Put the foot bar on and hoist it to your shoulders and it really is easy to haul long distances.
I was able to go up and down a hill with my Renegade on my shoulders, and it is 3' longer and a few pounds heavier.
