Should I get a renegade 800 or a DS 450 XC? I have a yfz 450 that is all but sold. I really like it but I can't decide what I should get. I am wanting to do a few hare scrambles next year just for fun. I mostly trail ride though. Help me decide please.

If you actually hit some good jumps go with the 450. The Renegade is 750 pounds and is a bit of a tank to land. If you never MX race I would say the 800 is most rounded machine out there. Just be careful in the tight trails, it will accelerate as good as any 450 but its twice the machine to stop.
