Both have enough power. 700 is a auto and have never had any problem's on high descent's even on clay tracks. servicing is every 100hrs and after 3 years have only just done a wheel bearing (most days going through a creeks) apart from the normal brake pads etc. I would not touch a polaris even if it was free.
We have had a excellent run with the honda sxs and will be replacing them with honda's in the future.
