otter wilderness or clam x2

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

i'm fishin out of a clam 6800 and i am looking to go to a flip over portable. i was looking for

some imput on which of these 2 is the more sturdy and comfortable. i have found both (discontinued models) avail locally. the x2 is $570 and the wilderness northern is $350. both good deals but the are both in the box so i cannot sit in the things to see what i like best. i am looking for the most comfort in the seating as they both have plenty of room. anyone know what size poles are on the otter , i already know the x2 has 1 1/4 inch. thanks for any info.

i have a x2 and its pretty slick. my buddy has a otter lodge and its nice also. there both good in my book. i went with the x2 because i got a deal on it at gander. i think the x2 is a lot lighter so if your moving a lot by dragging i would go with the x2. also the x2 is a lot brighter inside. the poles seem a lot stronger in the x2 too. the seats in the x2 i could sleep in them there so comfy and very durable, not sure about the wilderness but the lodges dont even come close. hope this helps a little.

Dont know alot about otter. But i believe they only have a bench for a seat and the X2 has nice chairs. So if you add the cost of seats at 70 a piece so 140 bucks for two it evens the price out a little. I have a thermal clam and like how it sets up been ot in strong winds and never put all the poles in just extend the frame poles and start fishing.

the otter has the individual seats just wondering if anyone knows how comfortable they are.
