Post subject:  Easy Rite vs. Easy Up ?

My crew and I are very light, and we have trouble righting our Hobie 16, so I am looking for better system than the single righting line that is currently attached to the dolphin striker.
In the Hobie catalog, there is the Easy Rite, and the Easy Up (Hawaiian style), but from the pictures and explanations, I fail to see why one would behave differently than the other.

Anyone experienced with any of these system can provide some help ?

I can't comment on those systems but I've been through a variety of iterations of righting systems and have come to the conclusion that a righting bag is the best solution for me.

I have a giant righting bag:

In addition, I have a separate righting line that is attached to the dolphin striker. I have loops in the line from the dolphin striker and then I can connect my trap harness to one of those loops and stay suspended just above the water line. Then I have both hands free to deal with the righting bag.
