I don't think so. He forgot one very important category. The $1,400 price advantage the 570 has over the 550 is considerable. Another huge advantage for the 570 is the 12" wheels. Being stuck with 14" wheels on an XP, you realize the advantages of 12" wheels. With the new, more powerful engine, looks to me like the 570 is going to be the clear winner. Don't believe it? Go into a dealer and you will walk past a whole line of 550's while you try to find a single 570. I have yet to see one in person. They are selling them before they even arrive at the store.there ya go. 550 wins hands down
