the le21 was a great boat. i would go with the alpha however just because it will be easier to get parts and service plus it will have most of the updated features (day box, organization etc) that were upgraded from the 21. I'm trying to remember, but I think the le21 was a little faster hull than the alpha but the alphas are better ride (and still pretty quick). Maybe someone else can confirm that. I have a 199, never been in the 211 but did spend some time behind the wheel in an le21 - its what sold me on legends to begin with.
