Hi Richd,
I also started out in a donut and now have a V (Super Fat Cat) and it is superior in every way in my opinion. It's faster. It keeps me out of the water. It is much easier to get in and out of it. And the blow up seat (or foam) is far more comfortable than the crotch strap of a donut. I never had a particular need to lean forward or rest my arms on the front (though I probably did without thinking.) You can catch fish from a donut. It will get you around, albeit very slowly. If you decide to do serious tubing you may want to consider very carefully before you jump, otherwise you'll end up stuck - or purchasing again.
FG's Fat Cats would be a good move. They're pretty durable with their urathane bladders so even a used one is a pretty good deal.
If you go with the donut we'll still speak to you however.
