The L450 can also be sailed (not docked) singlehanded or from two persons. The high boom is not such a problem as one always thinks, who wants can also lower it. We love the flybridge - if that were not important to us, an L400 would be big enough for us.

for
novice, i think new is better. There is time to learn about top 100 systems on board before things start failing.
Just couple days after I purchased, realized that i will have to maintain everything and regretted
purchase. Never crossed this my mind before. And it is so obvious.
After I managed to fix broken
anchor winch, started actually enjoying
maintenance. Still do after 2k miles.
