Curious to find out which is the better plan from those who have experience with either of these.
Thanks in advance.

There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

I went with Cornerstone on the advice of my dealer, who I completely trust. The reason was I could get a longer term than BEST, per Sierra Cycles Cornerstone is so well know and so broadly recognized, and coverage is the same. If I had only wanted an additional 3 years then I would have gone with BEST.

Hmmm, maybe it's telling those in the know juust a little bit more about my age/background, but the only Aegis I've ever dealt is something you really wouldn't want to discover tracking your Spyder..... :shocked: Altho I guess you wouldn't need to worry about it for too long?!? 
pps:
The only 'Extended Warranties' we can get here in Australia are pretty much only really good at doing one thing.... and that's improving the Dealers profit margin at your expense! :cus: Our version of Choice (an independent organisation that tests & reviews just about everything, providing independant and unbiased reviews, product tests, articles, information, and buying guides.) fairly recently did another review into their value. They ended up recommending (yet again) that prospective purchasers would be better off putting that money aside to cover any mechanical issues, and as a result of that review et al, our Corporate Watchdog, ASIC, initiated enforcement action that saw purchasers of these warranties refunded premiums totalling about $5m AUD, that figure bringing the total of enforced premium refunds up to $125 MILLION AUD since they first started clamping down on shonky extended warranties in 2016! :shocked:
So here in Aus, money-wise purchasers generally don't even consider buying those types of 'warranties'.... :thumbup:

Why would anyone gamble with any extended warranty other than the BEST. The price of the warranty is always up for grabs, be sure to check couple of dealers an then call your local dealer to see if they will match, if not go with lowest an know it is the BEST. I called my local deal CYCLE ZONE, TOPEKA,KS 785-234-3844. VISIT with Aaron. I got a darn good price that anyone would be happy with...tell him Richard sent ya...remember the BEST is always good with any canam spyder dealer nationwide.. U.S.A

Just a quick note about the extended warranty on the Spyders. I talked to Robert with iMotorsports and their 3 year extended warranty on all Spyders is $671.00. Now the cost for a 3 year extended warranty on the Rykers is $621.00. There is some confusion about this and just wanted to clear things up with everybody. I just purchased the 3 year warranty on my F3 Limited.

Last week I spoke with someone from iMotorsports and he told me $621. He must have forgotten to tell me it was for the Ryker and not the Spyder. Thanks for the clarification.

Here's why:
I called my sales person and inquired about BEST because I wanted to give him my business. He told me that Aegis covers MORE items than BEST, but it costs significantly more.

I had one from Western a number of years ago that very much paid for itself. The great thing about our warranties is they are't mileage dependent, and I think that is essential to factor in when making the decision. I do over 10K a year mine, but many just do a fraction of that.
