The 1000 isn't on the same level for a boondock sled as a pro. Unless all you want to do is climb straight up big hills you should definitely get the pro. If that is what you are into buy a turbo. 1000s were a good sled but 4-5 years of newer better technology has come a long ways. Now if you were deciding between a proclimb and a pro that would be a tougher decision.
