most responses to best sleds will center around what's most important to the person posting....helps to understand a little about yourself, what's important to you, what kind of terrain do you ride in, are you leaving it totally stock or might you be open to spending a little ?....with the 16 cat, a lot of the complaints have been answered, the addition of a lightweight can cuts the weight advantage of poo/doo to mostly insignificant talk....the ongoing problems of the poo engine are still significant, until they have proven themselves, which truely won't be known until next year at this time....i like riding poo/cat for most boondocking, like doo if the riding isn't quite as aggressive (it's dependable, comfortable, good build quality, great trail and overall sled)....the differences in what make a good sled for riding characteristics vary with rider skill and preference, i've seen all three be excellent performers, mostly depending on rider skill.....location and honesty/integrity of the dealer is not to be overlooked...:juggle:
