My personal opinion is that ultimate stabilty would be of paramount importance on any passagemaker that I might design. The abilty to stay together and water tight would be more important than any other criteria. Ultimate safety first, ease of operation/maintenance next followed by proven mechanical reliabilty. Comfort would just have to be built around all of the neccessary stuff. Keel cooled, dry exhaust, old school injection system, can run with "zero" electricity if neccessary. When it comes right down to it, getting there is way more important than getting there in comfort.

I am with you all the way on this one Bob!SAFETY FIRST!
