Location: Kodiak, AK | I've never had an angler in the back complain. But if one did, you could lower it enough to be out of the way. The Talon is of a different design, so you'd not be able to do that. But like I say, they're not in the way.
It comes down to how often you'll use it. I use it all the time, so for me, they're very much worth it. I find new uses for mine all the time. I'll use them when I come up on a spot and I have my routine for getting ready- put the dog in the water, get the rods out, get the trolling motor RAM mount undone, unstow the net, get the dog back in the boat, etc. I PP down and don't start my drift until I'm ready. I use it at the boat ramp sometimes instead of tying up; especially in the fall when the docks are out. I beach it and PP down and she's there to stay. I use it if I'm going to stop and eat lunch. I use it in high wind or current when I want to really disect a spot... On and on.... I love them and for me and my fishing, it's worth it all the way.
