I'm afraid that I will want more out of the 570, I'm kind of a maniac when it comes to the stupid pedal. I have read some mixed accounts how the 570 stackes up to an older 800. You own one so what do you think? I would like to save a couple thousand I'm betting close to three if I catch it right.

Yeah I am afraid you are correct.
When my bike was stock it would run side by side with a 800 rzr till about 50, it was plenty peppy in tight trails but lacked a little on the long straight a ways. Now its on 32" tires and only thing I've outrun is a pioneer 500 lol
I have the Polaris Ranger 800 and my buddy has the Ranger 900. I have abused my bike to say the least, it has held up for 6 years. All mechanical failures are do to abuse and pushing beyond it's intended use!! Lol My friends 900 is quieter and overall nicer sxs. I have no experience with the 570.
I dont care so much for running wide open in the straights but setting me back in the seat and having the throttle to hammer down and get over an obsticle.
Having the power to do the obligatory 4 wheel burnouts is a must.

No more laughing dog
speaking of riding, is the Spillway open to atv's etc? Any long smooth strait aways if so?
I forgot to ask the other day which do you like better? The Commander or RZR? And why? There are different things I like about each as I also see some differing drawbacks. The commander is nearly a foot longer (drawback) but also seems wider in the seats (plus). The bed of the commander accepts seats better than the razor. The razor has insane wheel travel (two thumbs up) the Commander is still has great travel only slightly smaller.
The main purpose is to have fun with my wife and 3yo, so it will likely get a jump/bump/hump seat for couple years. And likely a back bench once the squirt is too big to ride in the middle.

The commander 1000 is a powerhouse. The power compared to the 800 is not even close. I loved the commander, but I primarily did the mud riding thing. It turns out the commander had the power, but it was too heavy compared to the RZR. The RZR will go anywhere, but doesn't do it very quickly.
Commander Pros
Powerful
Comfortable
Dump Bed
Commander Cons
Heavy and big
4wheel drive not as good
Hot cockpit
Clutch is junk
RZR Pros
Light and nimble
4wd is awesome
Wheel travel is good for anything
Will go anywhere
RZR Cons
Built Cheap
Lacks in power
Bearings, seals, tie rod ends are junk

Can am guys get upset if you talk about the 3 wheel drive lol Whats scares me is the sounds the can am from diffs make when it eventually tries to spin both front tires. +1 on the polaris crappy bearings, heard they last alot longer if you stay out the deep mud though.
So what I'm hearing is buy the ceaper built but superior designed RZR and deal with the tighter seating arangements.
Suggestions on a dealer local to the Northshore/NOLA area worth dealing with?
For Polaris you can't beat the prices and service of ATV Zone
For Can am I would probably check out Gator Power. DO NOT go to Outdoor Powerhouse in Denham (formally Calmes). They are crooks, and their service is the absolute worst I have ever seen.

In LA, atv is the place for best prices, usually. I got mine in new roads, 10 minutes from the house for a couple hundred cheaper than atv zone. My cousin tried both places and atv zone was cheaper by 1200. Bar non best prices is bama buggies but about a 5 hour drive.
I deffinately thought about that, but JBE put the nix on the hurrican supplies weekend. Naturally a lefty will likely stomp on that one too. I hear there are some places in Mississippi that aren't registered here that don't charge sales tax, so that may be an option too. I think I'm going to try to make it up to atv zone this weekend to do some test driving.
