2011 XP550 or XP550 EPS?

I'm able to get an XP550 for 6,400 OTD, 6,345 if I wanna drive 2 hours. Is that a good Deal? Should i go for the EPS model if I can get it for 6995?

Thanks folks!

If you've never had EPS I suppose you won't miss it, but once you have it, its hard to go back..
I think its worth the $600, but that could go toward a winch and brush guards etc.. Those are the basic's you need to have on your machine.. Tough call, but man EPS is nice..

EPS for my 2011 550 was something like another $1400...Not a chance Im paying that..And personally I think its just another expensive repair bill down the road....the anti kickback on the non eps models is good enough for me..

get the EPS its well worth the extra money for the Comfort it provides and will give you a higher resale Value

Dropped 6395 on a new 2011 550 non EPS model today! Now I need some accessories. Anyone know a good online site for bumpers, hitch and some hand protectors? I wanted to try and get the EPS model for 7k but they didn't have anymore.

Seems to be the difference up here too.

the eps system makes the ride way too nice, its not anywhere near as hard on the body with it, definitely worth the extra money imo

Too late. Already bought the 2011 XP 550 sans EPS.
