Speed when stock, about equal. The 500 MAY have just a tiny bit more top speed, but the 400 being lighter, is more nimble.
Modified, it is the 400, all the way.
Reliability - about the same, but a modified 400 will need more TLC than a stock one.
Durability - this goes to the 500. The 400 is not prone to frequent breakdowns, but keep in mind a 4 cycle engine will have a longer life between rebuilds than a 2 cycle. However, it is much cheaper to rebuild a 2 cycle.

I have both a 400 and a 500 and I would say that they are very equal until you factor the pipe I added to my 400. It will now eat the 500 top speed. They are right about the 400 being more nimble and usually I will choose that quad over the other even though the other one is almost brand new.(I'm not as scared about braking something, because I like to ride rough) One thing you need to remember and i didn't figure this out unitl I had both is that top speed really doesn't matter that much unless your consistantly racing. The 500 is a very quit, smooth, and powerful ride that is unbeatable when up in the mountains, mudding, or just cruzing around with the family. Both are awsome and I think I placed the exact same post when I was looking to by a 500 but I realized that top speed isn't as big of a factor. Just thought I would tell you I was in the same boat at one time.
