Chris, A lot us went smaller to the M15 and I for one don't regret it at all. It's a lot of boat and about as manageable for single handling as a sailboat can get. I went through a similar process when choosing the my M15. It was on my short list until Connie showed me his boat and then, well it was all over, I knew it was the boat for me. After two years of ownership I often gloat at what a good decision I made.
As to rigging time (my best is 18 minutes) I agree with Connie, Tom and Morris that 20-30 minutes is a reasonable estimate. When I act my age I realise that a quick time will only get me in trouble. Once you learn the system and learn how to put it away when your done your next set-up will be more efficent and pleasant.
