RS 700

For various reasons, I've ended up having 6 or 7 different helms/crews on the 29er, and just when I thought I'd found a long-term helm he's been persuaded to stay in the Feva for another year. Having exhausted just about every possibility, I'm seriously - if somewhat reluctantly - considering going single-handed. 
I'd like a boat with an asymmetric. As far as I see it, there's 4 options: Vareo, 100, 700 and Musto Skiff. I know from experience that I'm too light for the Vareo. The 100 and Musto are too expensive. That leaves the 700. I'm 16, 60kg and about 5'8"-5'10" and sail on an estuary. There's a couple of Mustos at the club. I have some experience on the 29er and quite a lot sailing a 500 with an instructor, but I'm not exactly an experienced skiff sailor. How would I be able to cope with the 700, and is it worth my time?
