Your "ESP Tranny" comments are kind of confusing! Have you checked out the new Rancher 420AT???? It has IRS, fuel injection, is water cooled, and has a totally unique dual-clutch gear-on-gear trans that can be shifted manually (by pushbuttons) or left to shift itself automatically. It is a little heavy for my taste, but will most likely be my next atv purchase....

While IRS is a nice option if one constantly rides in very rocky terrain, but it's certainly not a necessity. I go everywhere in my SRA Rancher, that my buddies do on their $10,000 top of the line IRS big bores, including yard deep snow!
