Conquer 280 track reviews?

X2 I'm going to need a new track soon, interested mainly in the 3.5" pitch tracks. Any review or comparison would be
helpful. Is it a powder track, and lousy in setup snow. Is it a handful downhill? Or is it like a cat on carpet in setup snow?
I've have a lot of time on both gen1 and gen2 camo extreme. Polaris 2.4 and polaris 2.6 and the power claw 2.25 and 2.6.
If you can compare the conquer 2.8 to one of these would be awesome.
Thanks in advance.

I've got a couple hundred miles on mine. 153 in the 3.0 pitch on a turbo Viper. Had the 3" PC last year, same sled setup. Overall, I love the track. Throttle response is great, considering I dropped 12 pounds from one track to the next. I've ridden trails, deep fluffy stuff, setup, and early season no base stuff.
Fluff: Does everything my PC 3 would do, but even better. Riding I could notice, but watching videos from last season to this I can really notice it. When they claim it "lifts the sled out of the snow" they aren't kidding. I could actually feel the sled coming up out of the snow.
Setup/hard pack trails: Hooks better than the 3 would. The short stiff paddle grips the snow better and just plain goes. Throws one heck of a roost behind you.
Early season no base: Was a little surprised, but everyone was having this problem on their 2.6" Axys. Would sink down to dirt and had a hard time going unless parked in a track.
My one con so far: Digs one heck of a trench. Had a few 4+ft trenches I would dig without even thinking I was on the gas that much. Not bad if you're bringing up the rear, but in a tight tree line and being the leader makes you feel like a dick when your buddies sled gets swallowed by your trench.

I don't know how you can have both of these things at once?
Our experience is exactly like the ladder. The track does not float like the 2.6. It hooks up way more and therefore trenches more.

When you stab the throttle is when I notice a trench. When I ease in and load my clutch/turbo is when I notice the lift.

I got a 16 AXYS SKS with the 2.4" track that im looking to upgrade as well. This seems like a good track for most snow conditions, and we dont have bottomless powder that much where i ride, but is usually fairly deep or wet snow. Wondering how this would do? Thanks
