I'll be very interested in what you have to say about the X540 when you get it. I'm going through the same mind games. I have a 10 year old Legacy right now that has mowed probably in excess of 400 acres over the years, and I'm a bit nervous about going to something smaller, but now that I have the Kubota, I really don't need the heavier garden tractor features. Do you plan on moving snow with it?
