The Grizzly 550 with EPS is approximately $800 cheaper than the similarly equipped 700 and is identical except for the engine displacement. Reviews have said the difference in performance is negligible. I drove the 700 and can attest to this. My train of thought is that the 550 would offer a little better fuel milage. I know from a power perspective the 550 holds its own with any of them. As for the EPS, I was a sceptic until I actually drove the machine. This feature is phenominal and I doubt I will ever own another machine without it.
