np.....the fl350 is a good machine, but I have to agree with the other guys, the pilot is much more refined. If you are serious about getting one, join some of the pilot odyssey boards, and make some friends. They would be more than willing to help find you one in your price range. Maybe we will meet up on one of these rides. You could try out both and see what you think. My wife's 350 runs pretty good and I think is in pretty good condition. It was at the buggy bash in Missouri. She wants a pilot, and I think she would let it go for a LOT less than 4500....lol.....but then again, once you sit in a pilot, there really is no substitute.....
