I am no high speed demon. I suppose it is more of what you wan't to do with the sled. I came off of a 03 RX1 and that was 145 hp. Now I ride a 07 Mtn Lite with 80 hp and am happier than before mainly because I am out in the woods and off the trail. I don't like trail riding anymore so the light nimble and yet powerful mtn lite is a great choise. If you are out west alot climbing tall than maybe the lite will be lacking the ponies. Not sure just mu opinion. I like being out in the wilderness where I can go anywhere without to much concern about getting stuck and the lite does it for me. I mainly am a low speed adventurer kinda rider. I often say when riding, "lets go check that out" and off we go.

I went from 140 HP Renegade to the 80 HP Mtn Lite and I'll chose the Lite over the Gade any day. It's the torque that i love so much about it.

If you are worried about the power, maybe you should check out the Nytro MTX. 90 lbs lighter that the SE when fully fueled and 15 more ponies.

I ride a vector mtn and have ridden a phazer a few times. I think after a few rides the lack of power in the phazer will be start to get to you.
There are a lot of mods you can do on a vector to help with weight and handling. I lost over 45 lbs on mine and there is a very NOTICEABLE difference over stock (I ride with a stock vector mtn all the time)
A Hartman tunnel extension will help alot in the deeper powder.
Rider forward will improve handling A LOT
Custom Exhaust will help with weight loss and it sounds sweet.

I own both sleds. I really enjoy the Phazer to play in powder fields but anything else I prefer my Vector. I am totally happy that it is the wifes sled and that I didn't buy one for myself. Fun sled but I am not impressed.
