I have to agree with Stan The best boat is probably best governed by your use habits than the boat itself. The berth on the 15 is actually nicer than the 17's (I'm a tad over 6' and ought to weigh 180# although I'm over that by a few ;-). The 17's cabin does make for more comfortable sitting since it has headroom and the cockpit is larger. The 15 is easier to rig, however. I keep my 17 rigged on her trailer and so avoid the exercise of rigging every time. If I had to rig every time I would own a 15.
Awkwardness getting in and out of the cabin is probably largely a matter of developing technique.

The ease of trailering and setup and relative weight and complexity have their advantages. But, now that you mention it, we do liken our overnights to camping in a VW Bug (recognizing that that comment is unfair in view of the VW's relative roominess).
