I just picked up an MXZ 600 a couple of months ago. It would probably be your own preference, but I'm a Yamaha/Skidoo fan.
I have heard of people having problems with their EFI's.

EFI's are great, until you have to fix them..... I'd go with the 'Doo...

Both are nice sleds. If you want the fastest of the two then go with the F6.

Both are very nice sleds. There are some awesome articles about the development of the Firecats & the REVs at this link...

http://www.snowtechmagazine.com/static/articles.php

Look in the 2003 articles. They give you a ton of technical insight regarding the revolutionary designs of these sleds.

For every story you hear about EFI, I bet you will hear 3 about carbs. How many times can we quote SEG...."clean the carb!!"
AC's batteryless EFI is the state-of-the-art. Very reliable!!

But for every "clean the carbs" I say, I hear someone say "I've got an EFI and have no idea where to start". Throttle position sensor, O2 sensor, injector, fuel pump, computer, .............
