After market suspension work can make a huge difference though. A soft, cushy suspension sounds like the order of the day.
guiness, i think you are way off on this one. I have a Trailblazer and it is as stiff as a board. I think the Sportman with it's couch like seat would be the best riding machine.
Hmmmmm..... must be because the trailblazers I've ridden are rentals that get ridden and pounded some 100 times more often than regular quads.
That must be the reason.

Polaris sportsmans line-up has probably the smoothest riding suspension out there. And a nice seat too.

sorry but the 700 Kawai beats the Polaris sportsman for a seat.

As far as refined comfort, both the Rincon and Grizzly 700 are as plush as you may want. I would also consider the Grizzly 450 and the King Quad 450 since they are of medium power with all the good IRS plushness of the Big Bore brothers.

MY KQ 700 shocks can be adjusted down until you think your riding in puddin.I have had back surgery for sciatic nerve damage.It is a soft ride in my opinion.
