I have a Bell Magic and I have traveled deep into Quetico, using both a kayak paddle and a bent shaft canoe paddle. As others have mentioned, load distribution is an essential part of efficient performance. (Ever try to paddle an unloaded tandem solo while sitting in the stern?  ;D ) If you use a kayak paddle, it needs to be longer than what you would normally use in a kayak. Otherwise you will quickly get frustrated. The more I paddle the Magic, the more comfortable I am with it. Its been almost four years now & I am strongly attached to "Louise".
I also tested a Prism and was very impressed. I was torn between the two, and I'm sure I would have been equally happy with the Prism. Like anything else, IMO, it is a matter of learning the proper skills sets and getting into a comfort zone. After years of paddling tandem, I now much prefer going solo. I'm guessing that is true of a lot of people.
Enjoy that Prism; it's a great boat!  ;D
