If you had to choose between a 300ex or a Blaster.......which one would you pick?? Why?

Which one has more power?
Which one has more speed?
Which one has better handling?
Which one is a better slider?
Which one is a better jumper?
Which one has more mods?
Which one can wheelie better?
Which one is all around better?

Please let me anything that you have....Thanx!

I will attempt to answer to the best of my knowledge.

Power-I think the Blaster gets off the line quicker but the 300 will quickly catch up. Tie
Speed-Like I said the Blaster will get off quicker but the 300 will pass it by 4th. Tie
Hadling-I would say the 300 because it is similar to the 400. 300
Slider- I would say Blaster. It is kinda a personal opinion. Blaster
Jumper-I like the 300. It is more stable in the air. The Blaster is more likely to sideways but it is smaller and easier to wrestle around in the air. 300 barely
More Mods-I would say the 300. But with 2 strokes it responds better to mods than fourstroke. Blaster
Wheelies Better- The 300 has more bottom end tourque so it is easier to get up and it has a level powerband. With the Blaster it is not much harder to get up but once you start shifting you are bound to hit the powerband thus ruining the wheelie. 300
All Around-Well the score is 4 to 3 with the 300 barely in first.

Personally I would go with the Honda because it is easier to maintain.

Power - The 300ex has more low end power. The blaster has more midrange. And they tie for top speed. It can go either way.
Speed - It can go either way.
Handling - Gotta be the 300. I've rode a blaster and by no means is it a crappy handler, but the 300 stands out in handling no matter what ATV's it is up agains...even the 400.
Slider - Blaster because its lighter and will spin real easy
Jumper - Both quads jump real good...tie
Mods - Its about the same...except for graphic kits
Wheelie - The 300. Lots of low end power to bring and keep the front end up.
Better - Both quads are great. If money is a factor, the blaster is a good choice. If money isn't, I would go with the 300. I have a 300 and haven't had a problem yet. The blaster is 2-stroke, and kickstart. But you never have to worry about not getting it cranked. If your 300's batttery goes dead, you better hope there is a hill near by.

Both quads are great. Its really a personal choice. The 300ex has more room than the blaster. The blaster is cheaper and can do about the same thing as a 300. The only important thing is that you get what you like. Ride both and see which one you like better.

One thing you should consider is that you can get a Blaster for $3000 and i think a new 300ex is $4500-$4700. I would just save some more cash and get a 400ex or get the Blaster for the cheap price because the 300 and Blaster are really close in performance but not price.
