There are a lot of questions/threads out there today on how to keep the PRO running cool. I believe these Snowester's should have bought the RMK. When you buy a light weight Mountain Specific sled, you compromise. Cooling capacity on a PRO is not designed,in my opinion, for any type of trail riding. If you go back to the $28 upgrade thread. You will read my comment that the PRO cooling system is marginal at best. Everyone wants a light weight out of the box production sled. The cooling system is the easiest and cheapest place to drop weight for the manufacturer. The snowcheck RMK LE would have been the "best choice" for most. It has all the amenities of the PRO with added cooling.
With all that said, I believe the long snow flap would be a benefit. If you travel along side of a PRO running down the trail you will notice a majority of the snow passes out from under the flap. The scratcher snow does also. There is a down side with a long flap, it's in the way when stuck. It also makes the track pack snow through the tunnel when you are trenching not offering it to exit out behind which in turn slows forward momentum.
