I had been a cat guy my entire life, just bought a Rev and I love it. As for the 1M they need some better skis but can be made to handle well. My wife is 5'2" and about 117 lbs and can throw hers around pretty well.. She has an 03.5 1m 900 159 track with SLP pipe and can, RTK head, Power Valve Delete, Lefty, etc...
And as for the Powder Specials I had great luck with mine, just tore the bulk head on one so I parted that one. They were damn near bullet proof for us and we beat the chit out of them. The one I still have has been completely gone through and other than some hood chips is in awesome shape, its a great 3rd sled until someone buys it and its a great learner sled. However coming off the 1m and later sleds it is a tougher ride.
