Certainly in terms of weight. Not sure the Echo 2.0 has the capacity or the big water abilities of the Guide. Would be a fun pair to match off in a YouTube comparison video!

Guide is actually even heavier than that at 58 lbs. Echo is a bit shorter so loses some capacity there, but the big thing is the depth. I love the depth of the Guide. The Echo is still more shallow than I’d like. Helps on windy lakes, but I prefer the security of the added depth on rivers.
I could pretty interested in this as not only a bigger guy, but someone who doesn’t have the budget to add say a phoenix to the roster for the less frequent river trips or as a gunk holing boat. I never even looked at the original echo in person due to my weight and it’s low freeboard and capacity.
