That is helpful. When you had the Pioneer 700 did you feel handicapped by the lack of low range? Also does the 1000's extra couple of inches in width (3") and length (2") over the 700 seem like a little or lot in every day use?
A lot of folks go with the deluxe model because of the manual shift option. The 3 speeds trans is always questioned about the 700 but everyone pretty much agrees its a non issue when putting it to task.
If money is no object, and you don't have tight trails and you have a trailer that will accommodate the width of the 1000, I'd go with it.
