I have a Necky Manitou - a bit smaller than what you're looking at, and more recreationally oriented. However, DH and I love it (prefer it over our older Dagger Cypress). The Necky has a nice shallow keel and tracks nicely, and it is a much drier boat in chop. I can't say if the Eliza is the same, but if it's similarly well thought out, it should prove to be a nice boat.
Paddling.net has a nice buyer's guide. You can check that out and be overwhelmed with options!
Good luck!
eta: Oh, and I also sprung for a carbon paddle...I love it! Lightweight and stiff. Awesome!
