Wakeboard mentioned the 250EX. It is basically a Recon but without the racks, so it is a hefty 50 pounds lighter. It will do anything the Recon will, but better because you don't have that 50 lbs. of dead weight to drag around. (I didn't mention it earlier because your list was all utilities.)
One thing to consider however, is whether you need either the racks for carrying stuff or the big fenders of a utility to keep the mud off of you.

I'd look at something like the Kawasaki Prarie 360 for a ute.

I don't really think the drum vs disc thing is a big issue for these entry level machines. Discs are however lighter, and an advantage if you are in the water all the time. The 250EX has sweet front discs from off the 400EX.
But personally, I rarely use the brakes on anything I ride anyway!

But the thread is focused on lower cc machines. I have a Recon and it hauls my 230 pounda around. Its actually kind of fun,
much easier to load and unload and it goes just about everwhere the 500 4x4's will go.
RCPARROW needs to be really really sure on what hes buying the ATV for and if it will fit his expectations. Knowing what your going to be doing with the machine is whats important here. If your planning on keeping up with a group of 500+ 4x4 riders, your best bet is to stay in that class of machine.
