Brute is going to be much lighter and more sporty. Polaris is a much bigger, heavier machine. I sold my 2012 sportsman and got a 2012 Brute 750 and couldnt be happier. However, the ride is not nearly as plush on the Brute..the Polaris goes through rough stuff a lot better....you can pretty much ride over or through most anything. the Brute can be driven like a dirtbike..throwing it around due to the incredible low end torque and light weight...it is a lot funner quad imo. You will need to replace the stock tires asap..they are horrible.

Also, be sure to shop around. You can pick up a non EPS brute 750 for under 8k. I paid 8500 OTD for my 750 Camo ESP Brute and the non EPS run about a grand less
