This looks interesting to me because it is not quite as extreme reclining but still appears quite aero.
Easy Racer bikes are great bikes- they're not superb in any one area, but (IMO) the best all-around recumbent. Several of my friends have toured across the US on them, and I use mine in the local 10-mile time trial.

Easy Racers is also close-ish to you, in Watsonville. Talk to them about frame fit- there's 7 different sizes of that style (they've since changed the design to fit more riders on fewer sizes) and getting it wrong can be painful.

FWIW: the Craigslist bike is a medium-large. My wife rides a medium-large and her inseam is 35"... long legs, blonde hair, beautiful smile:
