Fraser, sorry I should have specified. I never intend to off road this beast. I just live in a city where we get MAJOR ice build up and snow heights. So a sick a$$ set of winter/ice tyres are necessary and an AWD system, IF a person can help it. I am lucky enough to be able to.

So I Just want a system that will help me get out of deep snow and ice conditions.

Glad you compared the two systems though. That makes a WORLD of difference to me, thanx for your input.
