With the Inboard you can run slower than an I/O or OB and still stay on plane and WOT is usually about 38-40 mph. Slower plane is a huge improvement on rough days. My experience is the fwd helm of a Sceptre lets you see better and 'feel' what the boat is doing forward - reduced maint/repairs because you don't push the boat as hard in marginal conditions - but there is usually more junk fwd (mounted and in the cabin) on a Sceptre to loosen/break.
