The 960 is almost 50 lbs 22kg, the xl4200 is probably half that weight,

Great choice, that's a really fine machine (and even a bit heavier than you mention I guess) One need the correct relation between weight, size of bucket and power, that's the general idea. The high end models follows that idea quite well, no matter size. Oh, in the case of xl4200, I must correct you a bit, it's more like 40-45 lbs, it's got the stability and weight IMO, but struggle with other issues.
