Didn't you say you were just getting into sledding? If so, you probably want a machine that you can handle and learn on before you go buying the killer sled. Most people think that you just get on a sled and ride and it just aint so. If you have experience riding cycles, you will adapt fairly easily. I have seen so many of these guys who buy the monster sled and end up parking it in the garage afraid of it or deciding that it's too much work to have some fun. That's how I got the deal I got on mine AC's. I would go with the milder of the two to start with and upgrade after having some time on the seat. Mind you I am a dad and grandad and a certain part of me doesn't want to see someone get hurt. I would recommend the doo for a newer rider. They seem to be a little easier to manuever when learning. I have been riding for a while but I remember how many times I ended up in the powder with my sled coming to a stop 10 feet away cause the tether came off when I fell off. I was young once too. I ride a little saner nowadays although I do find it hard to resist a good jump once in a while. I am teaching my grandkids to ride on a old Polaris right now. We have a Summit 700 and it's a nice sled. I like my AC's better but the Summit is a nice rig. If you get a chance to pickup a nice Summit for the price, I recommend it. One thing about the ROTAX engines, there's absolutely no lack of horsepower and pull on one. The go good.
