'08 or '09 Rancher 420

I've been pricing TRX420FM Ranchers (manual footshift) and can get an '08 for about $350 less than an '09. Could wait til end of summer for better deals on '09's, but the '08's are getting scarce. Are there any differences between the two models?

i do not believe there are any differences in the s / es models. the 09 rancher AT is way different: new auto tranny, IRS, and available with EPS.

09 has power steering option. Not sure how it works. I am in Asia and my buddy picked up my new Foreman ES with the EPS and he said the steering is awesome. He owns 3 other hondas and now he says he might have to go get one with the EPS. Sad thing is he is knocking the "new" off my bike while I sit in Japan. ARRRRGH
