Sport Quad or Utility Quad
Think long and hard about the areas you'll be riding. I really wanted to buy another sport quad to rip it up. But if I would have bought a sport quad. The only thing that would have been ripped up would have been the sport quad. I wanted something that had decent power, sat low, 4x4, and is reliable.
The Raptor and Blaster are soooo different from the utes. Maybe you should consider a Z400 with reverse. (If you'll be riding in tight areas.) Between those two, I'd say the Raptor with reverse.
Between the Vinson and Foreman, it still depends on where you ride. The Vinson is a real tall quad while the Foreman has a lower bar height. I find myself driving under low branches and downed trees a lot. The width of a quad also comes into play. If you're messing around going a different way around a downed tree (laying above the ground), two close trees, or whatever. It won't make you any faster. Sometimes a small agile quad with maneuverability is faster in the woods than one that's huge with more cc's. Try them and see which one you like. Everyone is different.
First, you have to decide between a sport and a ute. How does the guy or woman do while riding with the utes? (with the Raptor?) Do they have to pull him out a lot? If not, Maybe you should buy a Raptor or even a 2005 Predator with reverse.
Considering the areas that you said you'd be riding. The Vinson might be good and it has a higher top speed than the Foreman.
The Preds in orange do look pretty good though.
It's your choice.
