The smaller foot print of the Sportster, Response and Echelon hulls make them easier to sink, which leads to great wakes. The problem is, as I'm sure you're finding, you loose most of your space to ballast and gear and people. Your boat will make a great wake (just about as good as the Sunsetter), the real deciding factor comes down to usability. Don't upgrade if you are fine with the space you have now (adding a tower will help open things up too), but if you find things crowded, and wish you had more room for people and storage, an open bow would be a wise move.
