In the end the most important thing is the dealer. When you figure out which machine you like, thats the one you'll buy. The question is where from. When I made my decision to go red, I went to the dealer that is 10 minutes from my house. I got such a warm and fuzzy feeling from them I came home, used the dealer locator on the Massey website, then drove 2 hrs to the next closest dealer and bought my 2310. I even saved a couple of bucks.
