Switchback Adventure or Ski Doo Blizzard?

[Jayzonk]

Hi,
Getting back into sledding after a 30 year hiatus. I don't need to have a BEAST motor, just something that's fun and handles well. Test rode the Yamaha Sidewinder, and found that it's just too potent of an engine, and the throttle seemed too responsive. So I'm looking at a 600 etec Ski Doo Blizzard and a Polaris Switchback Adventure or Pro S. My main concerns:
1) I want excellent handling
2) I want excellent suspension to preserve my back (I have back issues)
3) I want good fit and finish
4) I want a reliable motor


What works best?
Thanks,
J

got my wife a switchback adventure 600, nice motor, nice stable ride , lots of storage, great trail sled, go off trail and get stuck and the thing is a pig, so for just me and my wife we found ourselves not going off trail because it was such a bitch to get unstuck and made riding not as fun , she now owns a switchback assault

What are these? Lol j/k

Are you wanting to ride off trail or mountains at all?

Thanks! I can't test ride every sled out there, and these are things that I need to know! Much appreciated.
