First of all, "Welcome Aboard"!
I've owned both, and I prefer the toon. Although the toon is bulker to haul around with the toons and frame, life is more comfortable to me on the toon. I can take more gear with me, and have a generally happier day on the water than I did when I had a tube. Both are a lot of fun, but I prefer to be "out of the water". Now I know some will not agree, & Tubedude has a great setup on his tube and he can present a great arguement towards getting a tube. But I think you need to try both before deciding. Then decide for yourself, that is how I did it, and I think I made the best choice for me. Good luck with your choice!
