Default need to decide between z400 or ltd raptor

I went to the local dealer yesterday and i am stuck between deciding between a limited edition raptor or a yellow z400. I need a quad that will be good in the dunes with paddle tires, good on jumps, and will be able to atleast keep up with Dad who is on a kfx vforce 700. I really like how the raptor feels when i sit on it but from what i have read the z400 is a great quad with a lot of potential and is best for trails. Please give me your opinion i have to decide by tonight because im going up there first thing in the morning to get my quad.

thanks
Steven

If you weigh over 170# the raptor would probaby be better if not the z would do and is probably a little better for jumping and a little more trouble free. IMO

I would get the Rap over the Z, just my personal opinion, but I would probably get the YFZ over the Rap if they were the same price, although I am kinda wary of the first year. If you don't mind me asking, what is the price?

6399 with no sales tax for the yzf and the raptor. I am almost completely convinced to get the yzf now. How is it in the dunes? and what kind of power does it have. Yesterday was the first day i had even heard of it.
