base vs upgrade Renegade 2016

Not trying to start a war, just pipe dreamin’

If my sole goal was the power of the 1000R in a Renegade form and in order of importance

#price
#performance

then is it still worth it to get the upgraded XXC?

The XXC used to be my dream machine but looking at the cheapest 1000R Rene it’s MSRP is the same as what my Outy was when I bought it. =O

Yes, there are a LOT of benefits to getting the XXC but from the factory shocks in my 11′ Outy to the factory shocks in a 16′ Rene I would think it would feel leaps and bounds better….

the base 1000R is thousands less than the XXC, however the XXC package is a deal when you price things out normally. Hard thing would be the lack of Power steering and QE diff. even more so than the shocks IMO.

Thoughts? Either way they have the same power so why not go with the cheaper one for the EXACT SAME POWER. refer to the above list of importance.

I used to believe if I ever got a Renegade I would never get anything less than the XXC because of all the goodies that are included but now I’m not so sure.

Not sure the extras are worth it when they already have the same power……..

thoughts? All opinions welcome
