Who told you that you were supposed to buy a z400? Do some research and make a decision for yourself, there are plenty of threads on here to tell you the good, bad, and the ugly!
I think the Z is a great all around machine, it does everything well in my opinion. Around here the Z is only about $100 more than a 400ex and the Z is liquid and it has reverse. Mine has been trouble free and a blast to ride!
Jimbo, There is plenty of top end on that quad. Most guys never even use the top end unless drag racing. You need to look at the total package, I think the Z400 sounds just right for you.
