I was in the same problem as you a couple of months ago. I wanted an EX but then again I wanted a CR cause there is more stuff to do on a bike that you can't do on a EX. I have a friend who has a CR and I love the feeling of a light bike under you that you can whip around where you want. I was in debate on what to get for about a week until I decided that I would get a quad cause I just feel more comfortable on it. But it is up to you.
