Has anyone installed a M7 rear suspension under a RX-1 yet?

I have access to an 05 M7 141" rear skid. I was about ready to jump and get it but everything I have read recently (in several different snowmobile magazines) says how horrible the kickback, rough riding and trail riding is with the M7 rear skid.
Maybe I'm better off holding out for a King Cat rear skid? Was there a 144" King Cat rear skid at some point in time?
How would not having any outer rear wheels on the rear axle be on the RX-1M?
So many questions, so little time to decide. Please help.

I'm workin' on it, still too much clutter in garage to work on properly - hopefully this week! Bought an 05 141" (Fox shocks and 8" wheels) all measurements seem close just need to get my rear brackets made, waiting for my mock up before I mount and make brackets. Did set-back on my Summit, I am going to try and use stock mounting holes in the front. Will post pics when done!

Thanks Doo guy. I will keep posted. I am a little concerned about the reports I have been reading on the poor ride quality of this skid. Frankly, I have been thinking a 1M skid may be the best but for the price it's tough to pass it up.
Let me know when you know more please.
