Pro 155 orange. Because I liked my 2011 alot and felt I was throwing away 1000 dollars polaris was offering me to trade up. Its not what you spend its what you save! (women mentality)

Assault RMK w/ the 5.1 track. mostly because I wanted a 155 pro, but wanted the upgraded shocks of the Assault. I'll be able to deal with the extra width no problem I will have to do something about those crazy graphics though...
I went with the 600 PRO 155" ... This thing is a rocket-ship and is easier to throw around than the 800. Not to mention that it costs about $1100 less to own... For the EXACT same chassis... only the motor is different.
I know that many will say... "I have an 800 and I can put it wherever I want to"... I agree... the PRO chassis is just that good... but with the 600 you will be less tired at the end of the day and you WILL be able to maneuver it even better than the 8's.
Sometimes, especially when you are trying to step up your game... an 800 can slow that process. If you are already an expert rider, or absolutely have to have the the highest mark on the hilll, get the 800... But, after watching Dan Adams, Tyler Swarm and vids of Burandt on the 600... I'd have to say it is the rider more than the small difference in HP/torque.
Most people I've run into out on the mountain riding an 800 (now remember that most are not expert/advanced riders) would be better off, both for the pocket book and the "fun factor" on a 600... they bought the 800 for ego reasons IMO. If you really DO need the power... then this post really does not apply to you.
MY 2 cents.

Snowchecked a Pro R 800 LE. Bought a 2011 Pro RMK this year with 1000 flawless miles so I decided to get a ditchbanger/trail sled to go along with it. Gonna have the best of both worlds now
This is, IMO, the sharpest color scheme from Polaris this year!!
The chassis and the new motor calibrations make that BIG of a diff...
I had a 2009 700 RMK that was perfectly tuned and clutched....would walk all over a 2010 600 RMK 155"... same setup, track etc. The 2012 600 would absolutely walk all over both of them both in the Highmark and the overall maneuverability and perf...A 600 PRO RMK is a HUGE step-up from any of the Previous 600's (and 700's for that matter)
I see where you are coming from...good to try diff things!!
Good luck with the rest of the season... Ours will be here thru end of July!!!
