internet talk is internet talk, you won't get a fair answer on here. If i had to do it again i would get my xp again, mine rips like no other, bet you won't find a stock dragon that can beat me on a steep and deep hill, trust me i've tried to. buy one throw on some ski's, have them warranty the shaft, handwarmers, and change to the 09 clutch components and you will be happy. i am. Sled flys great, and the carving.. its different but once you get used to it you will love it. i put 1200 miles on a 07 dragon last year before buying my xp. yes ithe IQ is easier to carve and i think it makes a average rider a better than average rider, but the xp seams to be geared towards the more advanced riders its a more technical sled to ride, and once you figure it out and learn it you will love it, i do atleast, wouldn't go back to my dragon

I got my wife a 146 Everest last year and the few times got to ride it I was very pleased so much so that I have my 09 146 X waiting at the dealer. I'm coming off of a perfect setup 06 151 Rev and decided on the 146 becuase it was that good. As far as things to deal with as said handwarmers, driveshaft and gearing change are all warranty replacement fixes. Alignement of primary and secondary clutchs (there is a kit for that). Clutching can be 09 internals or a good kit from DJ as I did in my 08. The XP is a very sweet sled and after a few hours on it you won't look back.

Only thing I would add to Makeveli's list would be the rear shock. I haven't had a problem with mine but two guys I ride with both had to have it serviced after only a few hundred miles. I understand it should be charged to 300psi, maybe something to ask about also.
