Whats the right Ski-Doo for me?

Well seeing as im buying a new sled, im not to sure on what to get. All i know is that i want it to be a Ski-Doo being my favorite in all....
I was thinking the 1996 MXZ 600 or 500 but i am rethinking alot about it.
Most of the stuff i do is mainly everything smaller moutains, hitting jumps, etc but not a whole lot of trails.

I was looking to spend $2000 canadian for a new one so anyone else have some suggestions? Artic Cat is also welcome lol no polaris's.....

the 96 mxz was 583. all the liquid mxz's in the S chassis were rotary valve motors.
the first 600 mxz was in 99, it was the first year for non rotary intake motors in the mxz's.

The MXZ 670 is a great sled, bulletproof motors, and can be found rather cheaply now.

I just purchased a 99 670 summit x and I love it. I went a rode with a brand new M8 and mine was climbing just as well as the M8. It pops wheelies and everything, 130HP! Awsome in powder as well. I would go with the 670 for sure. The guy I bought it from told me it smokes his 800's. It had the top end boored for some extra power.
