I'm not a she ya dick.

But yeah, it was a 06 F7 vs. the 07 M1k.

I not not been on a Xfire, but I figured the longer track would make for a smoother ride over the F.

Ya, I confused you with Fleck750 there for a while.

longer track doesnt change smoothness, if anything they hit harder, the big improvement in modern sleds is the 12-14 inches of travel they have, and much better shocks (Fox gas shocks on mine). Lots of adjustability for both aggressive riding and comfort.

I never would have considered it worth it on a sled if mine hadn't come with them stock. But after riding with the regular spring fox shocks that come on em, on my friends F8, I could never go back. Totally worth it.

I think they are about 800$ for the front, not sure what the rear costs.

May wanna look at Ohlins if your not worried about the price, though! Yum yum!

Crossfire 800 would be my sled of choice if I were to get one.

The $800 for the Fox I can probably justify with my wife but not the almost $1,600 for the Ohlins

When I said ' if your not worried about the price', I really meant, 'If your wife understands the true beauty of fine craftsmanship'... And I pretty much knew the answer was no!
