I know you didnt include the Speed, but take a serious look. I use to have a 400EX and a friend had a DS. The Speed is the best of both worlds.

It looks like you live in PA... You may find the DS a little big if you are riding a lot of trials. The 400ex isn't exactly a BAD choice but if I were going towards a 400 it woul dbe the Suzuki LTZ400. A Raptor would be good in the trails and woods too. Reverse is handy also.

I had one ...it was'nt to bad in trails ....& not too bad on tracks ...just way big for agressive(the R rules) ...riding the handling ..& weight was the problem...
(heres an old pic from the MX track...)

you just can not ride it as hard ,&it will not handle like an R..does ........... jumpin &landings were ok ...but turning quick
was a real challenge ...i even flipped in a turn one time ...
..man dont let that MONSTER land on ya ..
