I'm going to say the 400, it has much longer gears and better low end grunt. The 450, you just use raw power and wheel spin to get through stuff. Plus the newer 400's have reverse, the 450's do not.

It depends, the 400 makes it's power low to middle range and the 450 makes power up top. Just depends on your riding style.

Your right.It would take me a while to get used to a 450.

When I bought my quad, I had just sold my KTM 300 2 stroke. So the transition for me from a 2 stroke to a 4 stroke was simple. I ride my 450 a lot like a 2 stroke, hi revs with a lot of wheel spin!

FYI, the 525 and the 500 are no faster or no more powerful than a 450. I walk all over my cousins Predator(500) with the same upgrades. And they are not as good of race bikes.
