I haven't had both but I own a YZ2 and it's great but it depends on what surface you run on. I tend to find once the tyres are half worn the grip drops dramatically yet the same tyres work on my BMAX2.

If the grip is medium to low then stick with mid motor.

Ask for a drive of each one if someone is willing to let you have a go. The YZ2 is very direct so you need to keep your wits about to get the best out of it. If you get it right it's a very rewarding car to drive.
