My limited experience in Alloy boats Mclays ride awesome and feel super safe. Ospreys are super stable and ride nicer than Stabicrafts if you went down the pontoon route. Every stabicraft I have been on has been a bone shaker under way, from a 389 to a 2400, not sure what it is about them they just feel "sharp" and don't come down soft. Never been on a surtees but there's a few 5.5 workmates around your budget and they seem really popular
