Major difference between sno pro and ltd is the painted tunnel, the paint helps keep snow from sticking to it. I was a doo guy for years, and lost my local dealer who was great to deal with - not many would drive to Golden to install a motor in a sled at no charge so we could keep riding - pretty sure Ski-Doo didn't compensate him for that... Anyway, we now have a ProRMK and two Proclimbs in our household, all are good sleds, and honestly I can ride any of them with no trouble, nor do I see a significant difference in trail or off trail handling between either. I'm not a fan of the XP / XM steering post angle (wasn't thrilled with the 04-07 Rev steering post either), but that is simply preference - one can get used to it. My advice is if you can't ride them all, go for the one that has the best dealer support in your area, or simply a dealer that offers good after sale support. I drive 4.5 hrs one way to my Cat dealer (T&T Powersports), and it is worth the trip. They simply provide service that the big "box" stores don't, good people to talk to, and they actually ride (not all dealers do). Food for thought, good luck in your decision.
