There are a number of good boats out there - If you are interested there are some good pictures and details on the comtesse kit on this forum at
http://www.modelboatmayhem.co.uk/forum/index.php?topic=18857.msg182563;topicseen#msg182563 I have not owned a Robbe Comtesse, but have watched some videos on Youtube - from those videos it appears to be a proper sailor. The post referenced above suggested the kit requires some modest hobbying skills to complete as will the Mirco Magic. I was very surprised at the poor fit of the deck and hull pieces on my Mirco Magic kits -
Frankly, for the money they charge, they should be ashamed of this aspect of their product. Once I got the darned things put together and was able to sail the boats, I forgot about the sloppy molding tolerances and realized these boats are really amazing sailors, well beyond their small stature - I now understand why they are so popular.
The Victoria is a much better kit to assemble - Martin has just completed a build report on one - I have owned both the MM and Victoria - both boats are fun to sail and race. I would give higher marks to the MM in overall performance.
In closing, I perfer boats that sail well and look good at the same time. I lean toward more scale and detailed boats and avoid what I refer to as the "pool toy" look. It is all relative to one's taste. The search tool on this forum can help you find posts on the various boats under consideration - a little reserach goes a long way to making the right choice for yourself. I know you will enjoy whatever boat you choice.
