They are two completely different rides. I had a rev, and loved it. The XP I didnt log much time on, but took more effort to keep on its side carving. I fell in love with the Dragon at first pull. It was more predictable. I've met guys that went to the dragon from the XP for the ride, and I've met others that just love their XP's. I suggest you ride each first. rent if you have to. $200 for a day ride is nothing to find out that you do or dont like a chassis.
