What features are most important to you?
How often do you think you'll be using it?
What kind of elements would it be subject to (weather, under water use, mud, etc.), and to what degree and frequency?

Yeah I thought I wouldn't use mine either I just got it for the just incase I like the xd9000i. My Sister and neighboors wife were the first to use it. I was over in Iraq at the time and they decided to pull a bush out of the front yard it worked so well they decided to pull up more crap out of my neighboors yard. then they got an idea to go around the neighboor hood with a cardborad sign that said stump removal or something like that. I don't know if they actually did that or not but I told them the winch was to help get others unstuck. My last trip home back in Aug-Sept. I used it to pull a friend out he decided to go through a narrow gap in his Cherokee and kinda got stuck a little. so I had him hook it up to his truck which he put it around his axle cause he had no mount points but I got him out with no additional damage just because you don't need it or think you may not need it is when you may use it to help someone else out.

Agree with the story above but I will never swamp MY rig to the point it needed to bewinched. My rig is a daily and I try to keep my stuff in perfect shape. I like to wheel but this includes mostly trial rides and hill climbing... I can only see myself using it to winch trees off the trail in my way or to aid the occaisional buddy in need. Both winches I mentioned will get the job done fine so it isnt really the performance Im after here. To me, I would bet they are damn equal there. Like everything I do to the Jeep, it needs to look great first with the potential to work great as well. I do believe the 9.5ti to be the best looker out there but the xd9000i isn't too shabby looking either and a few hundred cheaper. Both should resale great if I ever changed up things too. Just wondering if someone had any input on these I wasnt aware of.

Neither!
Warns cost big bucks, and if you don't think you'll use it much, there are lots of good winches that cost a lot less.
You can always just put a Warn sticker on it if you want people to think it's a Warn.

IMO, the 9.5TI is worth the extra money, because it is Faster, you can't overheat it, and it has a bit more capacity.
Don't get me wrong the 9000i is a great winch as well. Give me a call, I can help you out with your decision, and I have 10% off and free shipping going on right now.
