Rancher transmission
In my opinion (for what it is worth) I think the Rancher has a more trouble-free electric shift system than the Foreman has. Not much of a problem anymore. My cousin has an early es Rancher, and it wasn't shifting quite right, but Honda fixed it right the first time under warranty with updated parts, and has been going over 2000 miles since then trouble-free.
About the only gripe he has now, is if his battery is weak, he can still get it going with the backup starter, but it doesn't want to shift unless there is enough juice to work it. New battery cured it, though.

We only have 600 miles on ours and no problems. We bought it for our daughters. I like the ES because of the other upgrades that come with it. I like the instrumentaion and full floor boards are nice features.
Mechanical is more dependable than electrical, buy we do like the ES over the manual shift.

Good choice. The handlebar shift IS quite convenient, but if you are willing to use your toe, the manual shift is far more trouble-free.
19 isn't cold! It was 17 below zero early yesterday morning, with a high of 5. That was frigid. In Alaska, it is like -40. THAT is cold. (Seriously, that is sooooo cold, I don't know how they can function).
