I like the open compartments of the Slayer over its competitors closed hatches
Biggest reason I like this one. (Ok, maybe not the biggest. But it's a big deal for me). Plus, if you want it closed, they make covers for them.

Why I'm not concerned about rod holders.

As for this "test", it's great that the guy can jump up and down on his cooler, but it serves no practical purpose and shouldn't be a compelling reason to purchase a specific kayak.
No argument here. I don't plan on doing jumping jacks in mine.
I guess my next biggest concern is speed and tracking?

Can't really help you, speedwise as I never had the 12 rigged with a gps to measure how fast it was. I could tell you the Propel could easily maintain a 3.5mph cruise, and I got her up to almost 6mph with some effort and wind at my back, but that won't really help you when ascertaining speed of the 14.5!
Tracking wise, the general rule is the longer the boat, the better the tracking. I had a Ultimate 14.5 that tracked very well, but I did have a rudder (which I would recommend that anyone put on their kayak) Seeing how the Slayer paddles, I don't think you would have any tracking issues, other than wind pushing you while in the hi seat position.
