450E wasn't the tops in my books of the 450 series and I like the 550A hands down any way .It depends what you are using it for and conditions of the two crawlers also depends how much track life is on them as well price is a major factor .450E got a we bit better fuel economy but if you have a bad back or are planing on doing a lot of pushing I would take the 550A .It is the Cadillac of dozers of it's time .Digitup.
