Looking to get a different ATV

I have 2 quads. One is a polaris Sportsman 500 HO 4x4...the other one is a Polaris predator 500..

d=14941&width=2">

my parents ride the sportsman..they are 73 and 74 yrs old and love to go to the desert....Also we put our Miniature Schnausers in milk crates on the rack and they ride as well....

I want to get a different Quad so they are more comfortable to go on the trails and I think I found it....

The Arctic Cat Prowler...side by side UTV 650cc

I was looking at the Yamaha Rhino.....

It has less sus. travel but similar ground clearance. One of the things that is swaying me to the arctic cat is they have nice arm-rests on the seat (comfort for my parents)..

So what do ya think? what is the reputation of the Arctic cat engine and drivetrain? This uses the 650 engine used in it's regular quad.
