I've rode a friend's 700 and it definitely has more power throughout the powerband but doesn't go any faster on top end, about 65 as well. Honestly, its not really stable at that speed anyway.
I think it's the single thumper that has great low end. Kind of like a straight six vs. a V-6. Just my own random thoughts. I do love hitting the throttle on the Can-Am.

Yeah, I wouldn't rule out buying one in the future but even used they're still pretty expensive. The Grizzly 660s are getting actually pretty reasonably priced used since the 700 has been around so long and most want it.
