Help spend my money, which atv to get?

I haven’t owned an atv in 13yrs but when i did it was a 400ex and i rode the crap out of it. Now that i am older(36) and wiser i now know i want to get another atv but a utility this time. I live on the coast of NJ near an old closed down sand/rock pit also near pine barrens for some trail riding.

I am a father of 3 (3,5,8) now and intend to take the kids on ride alongs and even the wife as much as possible. I am big guy 6’3 245lbs and want something that wont be bogged down by my weight or the added weight of a passenger. Also i intend to get a plow for the occasional snow storms that we get.

I was thinking i could just get a single passenger and add a seat or should i just get the 2-up? What is the major benefit of the 1000r compared to the 850 in the outlanders max xt-p’s? Should i look at Max XT’s 570 instead? I have no intentions of going mudding any deeper than 2-4 inches.

My buddy has a new Brute Force 750 eps and he is pushing that hard at me. The price tag at a local dealership for under <9k and i see there are a ton of aftermarket passenger seats online.

Any recommendations or assistance is greatly appreciated.

Thank you
