| Sure, you can prop a NA 4S to get nearly as good a hole shot as a 2S DFI, but you'll suffer on the top end by hitting the rev limiter. Props are compromises, and when you push on one end, you lose in the other. The fact is, the 4 strokes don't produce the low end torque of the 2S DFI's, nor do they have the smooth power curve.
There's also a bigger difference between a smallblock Pro-XS and a big block Pro-XS compared to the standard Opti's, respectively. The price difference between the 175 Pro XS and the 175 Opti is less than that of the 225 Pro XS and the 225 Opti.
And no. Sled, you didn't make the wrong decision on the 175 Pro-XS. What's right for you is not necessarily right for the next guy. One wants all new, the next wants good used, the next wants to repower. It's all in what you want to afford.
