So I know I'm probably the oddball out here. But I have been pondering when I decide to get a new sled if I should go for a Backcountry XRS 154 2.5"? I currently have a 2018 Summit SP 154 2.5" with fox floats all around

On the BCXRS I really like the shocks, wider boards, hand guards, gauges, but most of all I like that the controls are on the handle bars! I don't get the clean handlebar thing but that's just me it seems
It also seems like more and more we lock out our T motions so idk if that C motion would be the answer I'm looking for. I assume you lose the flex edge track.
I do 90% off trail, about 70% of that is more or less flat land.
I know the stance is a bit wider than the summit. I currently have my summit centered and I believe its about a 37" stance.
I like my summit a lot and if there was an economical way of getting the new gauge and putting the controls on the bars that's basically all I want. the rest is just icing on the cake.

What do you guys think? I'd really like to hear from someone who has ridden both. 79092909_10162815773545296_269783624759377920_o.jpg79348631_10162815772215296_8450652101125603328_n.jpg4056_modale.jpg

Had some guys come from back east last winter with the 154 backcountry's... they did real well. If you like it, buy it.. On another note I looked into the gauge thing, the harness is different no swapping gauges
