Default Another 400ex or Raptor 660/700

First off I love my 400ex but I'm finding for ~$500 or so more I can get a Raptor 660. My research tells me the 700 is a lot better then the 600. If I get something bigger the girl will take the 400ex. Right now we trade off and she rides it fine... but I hate not riding hahahah

1. Another used 400ex
2. Used Raptor 660 for me
3. Save 3-4 more months and get a used Raptor 700
4. New Kymco Mongoose 300 for the girl, she is Taiwanese and her family swears by Kymco and they have the $$ to buy ANYTHING.

EDIT: I only ride trails.

Stay away from the 660. It is top heavy and tippy.

I don't like the ergonomics of either Raptor, but my buddies wife has one and he put lower bars on it and I like that much better. Definitly ride one first if possible.

I would save a while longer and get the 700!

might be just as powerful but the suspstion and frame will be lacking. the only time your going to keep up is on flat ground.
