What dealer did you end up going to? Those new cats look awesome

That's what I did. The 137 and 129 were sitting right beside each other too - so I was really able to go from one to the other, get a handle on the realistic difference in track length etc. and looking at them side by side - tip to tip, the difference was super minor and I think I will get more enjoyment out of learning how to be more "tech" and looking at the gauge and learning all it's features than what I believe will be a minor, if any, difference in ride quality.   I also am on a 129 and have been since 2012 and I've never felt it did not work or I was leaving anything on the table. Rides well - goes anywhere I have wanted to w/o issue.   In the end, I'm good with it, actually better than good, super excited to be honest.

For $100, I'd be going with the G8. 

Fairmont LOL.  Stayed in Banff twice at the Fairmont Banff Springs.  Both times, the last night was back in Calgary for a flight home next day.   Rooms in the Holiday Inn were just as nice, and even bigger than the Fairmont.  Only difference was the Springs was quieter.  You didn't hear the hallway noise.   Holiday Inn included breakfast, Banff Springs breakfast alone was almost the price of the room in Calgary LOL    

No EPS or ATAC: Too much scratch for this guy. This one landed well equipped in my budget - so that's it.   Very adjustable w/o ATAC - just a little bit more effort. I will be okay w/o EPS as well. All accounts are the sled handles very very well on it's own and I'm still able
