thats wierd i have a 400 ex and ride with pretty much just people that have yfz450s and trx450s, we swap back and forth all the time there quads are wider and feel bigger and taller then my 400. I'm 5.4- 5.5 and 115 pounds i keep up and some time beat the guys ( which is all i ride with saddly) dragging.

go with the 450, you will wish after a month or 2 you bought the 450 if you get a 400

I'm in the same boat with my YFZ ... I bent the steering post on it a couple days ago so I'm gonna order a new LSR one, but I can't decide if I wanna get the 1" forward and 3" extended version....
I'd like to keep the "pivot point" where the bars meet the steering stem in the same location front to back as the stock stem, but a couple inches higher ...
I'm also gonna check into taller handle bars. I can't help but think that if I had the bars raised up 3-4" it wouldn't help me out a lot, even trying to corner with the thing.

Yeah ... I think as soon as I get the bars raised up on mine about 4" and get the A-arm skid plates so I don't have to worry quite as much about rocks (already have the chassis and rotor plates) I'm gonna really be digging this thing.
The area I primarily ride has entirley too many rocks, but as soon as I get to a clear area where it's just dirt and let er rip, I'm glad I didn't get a bigger heavier quad ...
I think the ticket for me is getting the bars up higher... once that's done I can see being confident getting all 4 wheels off the ground, as it is now I feel like I'm gonna go over the handlebars every time I land ... haha
