The Gator is a really nice sail, a couple of my friends have the 6.5 (ish) and it feels really nice. If you are looking for something 5.8 ish think about the North Duke (Great all round sail) or the X-Type for a more freeride bias. NP Hellcats are also good and you can get some good deals on "old" new stuff. Bottom line is try to get to demos days - see if any of your mates can let you try their stuff - and in another 12 months you'll probably want to upgrade anyway - so don't spend a fortune ubtil you really know what you are after. Good Luck.
