Possibly becoming a t-cat owner, input & thoughts please.....

Had a couple offers on trading my harley for 1000+ cc cats. Owners are on HL, maybe here as well, they can comment too if they like.  
 
I have no personal experience w/ them, so I'm looking for general pros and cons, comon issues(minor or major), general reliability(I'm coming off a pretty wildly built up "300" honda that snaps axle like twizzle sticks), ride quality, things like that. I'm looking to step up to a big bore bike, but was just planning to go stock w/ clutching as I want something as reliable as possible while having the big power snap off the line. Now I have theses offer on the table and which would seem to be really nice bikes, but I want something that I can run beside my buddy's XMR and not work on any more than he does his(which has been nill since he got it a few months ago).
 
Main one I'm considering is a '09 thundercat trv. - It has an 1100cc speedwerx motor including cams & stage 3 heads(nitrous kit used on previous motor comes with it but is not hooked up), WCD, 4" catvos lift, 'rill aprop shaft, new front & rear diffs, race pod & race ecu w/ pc5 tune, snorkels(dual air), rad relocate,  brand new 29.5 terms(to go on stock wheels), and other associated misc.
 
Other possibility is an '08 t-cat 950. - It has a 1040cc kit, race pod & ecu, two sets of tires & rims, WCD, 3000# warn winch. Guy says he has over $17k in receipts, but the above bike would seem to be a better deal.
 
Any input is greatly appreciated, thanks guys.
- Jp

This thing seems to be a pretty stout kitty. Gotta re-work an issue with the 4" catvos, but so far I'm happy with it.
