Shoal vs Std Keel on E26/E25+

Anybody have direct experience to evaluate the sailing benefits of the E26/25+ Std keel over the shoal? I had a 1984 E26 shoal which I felt sailed very well. I won't be racing, but I do like sailing to weather. I will be sailing mostly singlehanded in the Chesapeake. The draft difference is not an issue for me, so I'll have more boats to choose from if the sailing benefit of the Std keel is small. Thanks!

Deep is better

The std keel will be a significant improvement upwind. If draft is not an issue- stay with the deep keel-you will be glad you did!
