What is the best inflatable kayak or easy to set up folding kayak to buy for an extended backpacking trip?

Question

Im planning a round the world trip and would really like to bring a quality inflatable kayak with me. I live in South Florida and would also be using the kayak alot here. Ive looked at the Advanced Elements AdvancedFrame Expedition http://www.advancedelements.com/advancedframe.html#expedition

and also the PakBoats Puffin Kayak 12 http://pakboats.com/kayak-models.htm

My main concerns are performance balanced with weight and portability. Less important would be how easily it sets up .. and cost.

I appreciate any information especially personal opinions from use.

thanks

Feathercraft folding kayaks has been the industry standard for a long time, and supplier to many expeditions. check out their track record.
