Price sounds really high.
I've got a 1650 I am piecing together and here are some of my observations.
1. ISO mounts can be a pain in the arse, however, if you do the cradle mod, you shouldn't have to revisit them for a long long time.
2. The exhaust tin and mounting of it is kind of a pain - but again if you get it together, it should be OK long term.
3. QL's are wide frame, so easier to get at the tranny/drive shaft guts via removable cover on top of the mid-section of the tractor.
4. IMHO, QL's are everybit as heavy duty as any other IHCC. They can be a hassle to get repaired, i.e. ISO mounts, but once all that stuff is fixed, you got good machine.
Good luck,
Bill
