I recently purchased an Oasis 2012. Oasis has more storage space than the Outfitter. It has a front hatch; the Outfitter does not. I like it because I can kayak with my wife or kids or just by myself.
I went out a couple weeks ago in La Jolla by myself. Sat in the back seat. Didn't have any difficulty pedaling even with the nose slightly up since weight distribution was not even. If you go out by yourself, you may want to invest in a ballast like the Sumo Seatsac to offset weight when kayaking alone. Again, I was okay without a ballast, but it may make it easier especially if waves or tides are high.
If you are truly interested, I recommend demo'ing it at a nearby Hobie dealer to see and feel the difference. I did, and it made it easier for me to decide. Just my opinion. Hope it helps.
