Someone else could probably help here as well for they are similar crafts. I know the FC4 has urethane bladders and the ODC has PVC bladders. Look at materials used in each craft and see what is best. Also look at where you will be fishing and see if you need stronger material. ie: ponds with lots of brush or open reservoirs with little to no vegetation that is known for cutting holes in tubes. (pic attached to my mishap on a reservoir and a rock). So the two crafts are similar in design and workmanship. So it comes down to what YOU want and not what others want you to have. Again a good quality craft will last a long time. I still have my first tube from several years ago, had to replace the PVC bladder last year. My wife has a 16" round caddis from the late 90's that needed new vinyl tube last year as well. Now my 9 year old uses it. My toon I purchased in 1995 and only had to replace the bladders once. The old ones were vinyl truck tire type, new ones are urethane and they were replaced in 2000 and still going strong. So once again decide which you like and go for it. [cool][cool][cool][cool]
