This won't help on the sled decision per se but make sure you join a club, go to some meetings, talk to members about local riding and riding gear, etc. Almost any decent sled will get you where you want to go to start. Once you have been riding for a while you will develop personal preferences for the kind of riding you want to do. The sled you have may meet those needs or you might need to trade to something that does. If you are talking to club members, they will be a pipeline to your choices and their experiences with them. The Moultonborough club also has club rides that are a great way to learn the local trails.
The sled choice is just the beginning. Getting out and about on it is when the real fun and learning takes place.
