The midsize 570 is the best deal for the money. I bought one a few weeks ago at Bama Buggies for $7900. I drove the power steering model and it didn't make that big of a difference on the midsize. It will flat out go! I love mine

I bought a used Yamaha Rhino from Big 1 motorsports, and love it. I love the fact that I can carry all my stuff with me at one time.

I've got an older Ranger 500 that gets used/ridden everyday.
Yes you need 4x4, if you get 2wd you may as well have kept the golf cart. My 500 (which is now the 570)is plenty big enough for what I do. Only reason I can see needing a bigger one is if you are going to pull a disc or something heavy on a regular basis.
I personally would not get a mid-size since they only fit 2 adults, the full size will fit 3 "comfortably". If you don't need to fit 3 people and want to get into tight spots then the mid-size would be good.
Pros: Go anywhere within reason, haul a ton of stuff in the bed, pull trailers, plenty fast, very smooth ride, comfortable for 2/3 adults and gear
Cons: parts and accessories are expensive, labor at Polaris is even higher, get warm in the summer, it is a bitch to clean under skid plates etc.

We have a 700 Ranger Crew.
Pros-
ride quality on any road is GREAT
ability to actually use it to do REAL WORK carrying 4 large people and still having elbow room having a roof to block the sun easy to get in and out of for us older guys and no lifting leg up and over the 4 wheeler
no worry of will the battery charge get me back home
plenty of power to do all practical and expected things
Cons-
the noise of the 700 is loud. So loud I can't carry on a conversation going moderately fast.
won't go where a 4 wheeler will
takes more trailer and gas to haul it around
takes more space to store it
takes longer to clean it
requires constant pressure to accelerator and brake going down hill with factory clutch to keep clutch from free wheeling
gets hot over motor in back seat during summer
Ours is a 2007 and I understand the later models are supposed to be quieter. The loudness of the motor is the biggest and only draw back to me.
If you want one to work with, it is a no brainer- get one!!
I'm sure there is more I am forgetting to add.

I've had a bunch and went back to ATV for agility. It'll just go where the side x sides can't.

We have an 800 my uncle bought used. I thought the guy he got it from had wore it out. We have tried to kill that thing and can't. He treats it like a rented mule. I've been really impressed with it. I want a 570 and don't even need one. It has the power steering but I've driven it when it was broke. At any kind of speed I like it better without but it's nice when you are just poking around going slow.
One day the right woman will come along and the next thing you know you'll be wearing her underwear!

The only down side is that they are a little heavy if running in flooded fields (i.e. duck hunting).
You'll need a body and suspension lift for such uses. Anything over 2" you'll probably want to upgrade the axles.
When my honda rincon dies, there will be a full-size in my shop. Thats my way of saying the good out-weighs the bad.
