I have mentioned before that I considered buying/building both a Pahi 31 and a Tiki 26. The photograph in this post shows mid cross-sections of both boats, keels aligned that I lofted up on a basement wall. Although the Pahi is only 5 feet longer, its volume is significantly more. Much of this volume is in its additional head height. I chose the Tiki over the Pahi for very specific personal reasons though one day I may want to sail a Pahi and will venture down that waterline. Though the Tiki looks small compared to the Pahi in the drawing, in real life I am pleasantly pleased by its actual size.
