What's everyone's opinions on the 800 vs 1000 all things considered? My primary function for this vehicle is going to be riding tight MN trails. I'm a fan of driving slow things fast, but don't like being disappointed by something that's big and slow. So does the 800 provide enough excitement to feel like you're really getting after it, or do you need the 1000 for that?

Other thoughts and considerations? In my area, the 1000 is a $3400 premium which is definitely considerable.
To review the other differences:
- Nets vs Doors: I almost prefer nets since I want the open cockpit feel. Side note, has anyone put Mav Sport doors on the trail yet? I know they offer extra width.
- 50 vs 75 horsepower: this is the main concern. My only other SSV experience is in the original Maverick 1000R with 102hp. It was very fun but it felt like I had to drive it slow in the MN woods.
- Diff locks are the same on both?
- Fuel Economy: I've heard a few posts about the range on the 800 being measurably better. Has anyone quantified this yet?
