Your experience sounds similar to mine but your boat is a little better do-all.
While I do like my 1875 if I were to do it all over and make the choice between it and the 1975 and its extra foot of length, integrated kicker mount and 14* Hull I’d go with the 1975.
Something else to ponder is hull degree “rating” is almost always just an average degree “rating” as the fore, amidships and aft hull degrees vary. So for a guy shopping it is best to see the bottom in person (if you know what to look for) and get the actual degree from the manufacturer at the 3 points.
