Since the 525's are known to consistently dyno at 550+ hp I would want to see what a 565 actually puts out for power before I spent the money on an upgrade.

The 565 will probably put the 525 and 600 "out of business" in the next season or so.

It is not just the horsepower as an upgrade, I was referring to the fly by wire and the smoother shifting from forward to reverse when docking, and a couple other goodies let alone the fuel efficiency.

Is there a detailed comparison of the 525, 565, and the 600

I just heard as well as $ diff, the 565 does not have option to upgrade from xr drive application to the nxt. Not sure why, but a buddy is pricing a cat and dealer said to go to 525 so he could order the nxts. Anyone know why?

I can't see the 525's disappearing for quite a while, especially w/ the price difference there is now.
