Overall length and weight will have a much greater effect on performance than a 2 degree difference in deadrise.

When I purchased my boat I was able to sea trial boath a 19 and 21 degree dead rise. The marina had both boats side by side in the marina. I did the figure 8 test and the 19 degree deadrise did pancake into it's wake where the 21 degree cut right through it. The boats were 31 and 34 feet long. The 31 with the 21 degree handled the waves much better.
I do agree the SeaRay sundeck handles the waves extremely well. A friend has the 24 foot sundeck.
