The Force 5 has a much larger sail (16 sq ft more, in a higher performance configuration.) So you go faster but have to hike harder! It is certainly a fun boat. On the other hand, a Sunfish is easier to rig (I don't think a Force 5 has a halyard, and a Sunfish does, so it is easier to hoist a Sunfish sail.) A Sunfish is also a little easier to sail when it gets windy.
You will have fun on either. BB
