I bought the non-deluxe model. I later added PS for $560. and I bought tires and rims.
Looking back...
The roll cage will grow on you.
You will want the additional seating of the 4 or 5 seater.
You will want the PS eventually.
You will want nicer rims.
I really don't care about painted panels.
I'm hearing that most people don't use the paddle shift.
Summary, Get the 700-4 deluxe if at all possible. Get the 1000-5 if your budget will allow and the size isn't an issue where you ride.

I am a new member that had a similar dilemma. I am fortunate enough that the price difference was not an issue. I looked at all the other reasons I wanted the Honda. Same as you, family rig, hunting rig, just having fun rig.
I went the 700-4 Deluxe route for several reasons. I have been off roading for a long time and really looked at where the majority of my riding will take place and who is in the rig with me. I spend a lot of time in N. Idaho and you can't get around the gates openings in a 1000, just too wide, even though technically so is the 700, but for the most part if it will fit thru the gate they don't hard time you. Also, the speed is fun, had plenty of rigs that would haul a$$ thru the tough stuff, but most often when the family is with me or when I am going hunting, I don't need high speed. When I am just out for fun and have wife open space the more power the better, but it is not the majority of my riding.
The 700 does everything I want and I had plenty of funds left over to do all those mods you will want to do on either machine, winch, lights, windshield, stuff to make it street legal, etc. Without feeling the pinch on money to go actually use it.
Just another new guys opinion.
Oh and I was 13500 OTD for my 17 700-4 deluxe.

Thanks for the valuable input.
I’m still undecided, I’ve shopped heavily for a 1000-5 recently, at least called around. I’m probably within 300-400 bucks from making a deal. I know a few hundred isn’t anything when you talk about a 15,000 machine, I just want to come out of it feeling I got a good deal.
I’ve seen some of the prices people have posted on here that they paid, some are nearly 1,000 less than I can find, that’s the type of deal I’m looking for, the dealers hate me for it, some won’t even call back.

Hi guys!
Well, I made up my mind and made a purchase over the weekend with Black Friday deals going on.
I appreciate all of your input, i test drive the 1000-5 and wasn’t sold on it. I ended up selling myself on a 2017 Teryx4 camo. I had a teryx 4 a few years ago and liked the upgrades since then.
I put 25 miles on it lugging guys around the woods the last two days hunting. I’m happy with the decision and wanted to stop back in and thank everyone for there input.
The biggest deciding factor was the back seats are much more comfortable and roomy for my young kids.
Thanks all & happy holidays

Congrats on the new ride. The Teryx seems to be well liked by many.

Congrats, the back seats in the Honda is cramped. Rode in the back my a friends 700 a few months back, couldn't wait to get back to camp. I bought our P1-5 for the ease of getting our three dogs in the back, Doggy doors, yea I know!
