Another thing about the coat is that the reputable breeders in ACS are pretty much ONLY going to be show breeders. (I believe there IS a field ACS club in Oregon or Washington- but field bred american cockers are pretty much extinct) - and in cockers, this means the really extreme coat.
If I had my heart set on a cocker, I'd go with a field-bred English. Higher energy, yeah, but not horrible- and lovely, lovely working temperament.
