"Best" means different things to different riders, and the fact that you don't understand that with all your experience with different machines is surprising!!!
If you want a tight trail quad, the 400EX and its little brother the 300EX are the "best" quads of all time, in that venue. If you want to ride faster more open trails and wide open country, in the 400 class the Z400 is the "best".
The Z has had reverse all along, and the EX got it in 05. The Z got fuel injection last year, but it also weighs a good bit more than the EX. The EX is now a fair bit cheaper than the Z. I could go on and on nit-picking, but by now you should have gotten the picture.....
