Unhappy

Dilemma for me as to what model REV to buy. *My only existing sled is a 96 Mxz 583 and that will become the wife's machine next season once the Rev is in the garage! *I like riding with the boys but as the wife will now have a sled next year, I know that there will be some significant time spent "touring" (she is helping pay for it, so whats a guy to do). Question: is it worth it for me to get the X model instead of the Sport? *I want the 800, RER and DPM options... I am still looking at close to $1000 price difference to go to the X. *I heard that the main difference would be that the remote res shocks won't fade as quickly... does it make a big difference? *How about getting the 1.25 lug track vs the 1.0? Any insights to help me decide would be appreciated. *Thanks.

Go all out or you will regret it afterwards, so get the X and get the 1.25 track, if i had my time back when i bought my sled in 01 i would have had the 800 instead of the 700 just for the sake of having the biggest.

the shocks on the x package make it well worth the extra money. Plus it will help the resale value if you ever want to off it.

Go for the Mxz X. *It will hold value much better and give you a better riding experiance. *I rode the X and would not buy anything else because i dont want any compromise.

I got a X this year, and I&#39;m loving every minute of it. *My bro has just a regular MXZ 700, and I think the X is a lot more attractive. *That big X on the windshield and seat. *I Just love it. *I say get the X!!!
