I’ve used both up there in Montana and I now own only the 550s.

I've released 4 neighborhood canines- Totally unharmed from my MB650's Caught mine twice now in MB 650s without any issues but now he is definitely more cautious when I'm making a set. Both are good and have their places but like how my MB 550's bed vs the 650's.
Common sense is a not a vegetable that does well in everyone's garden.

Which I’m from MS and all I used down there was 1.75 or 2. I like that latch on the 650. Also there are wolves where I trap just in case one steps in coyote set. It might hold one.

MB550 with offset cast jaws and 2 coils are just about the biggest that comply within the land trap size regulations.
I want the least damage possible on red foxes because I release them. We have a few remaining red foxes that the coyotes have not eaten. Back in the time B.C. - before coyotes moved into this area, every year my gray fox catch was 60% red and 40% gray. The grays have been decimated by the coyotes. As a good sign, this spring a good friend saw a pair of grays when turkey hunting. I would not want any damage on a gray.

I've caught both farm cats and fox in my 650's and released them without issues. Caught two of my neighbors cats on the same set and both are back catching rodents at the farm. I have cast OS on both 550's and 650's.

If I was in Montana, 650 cast, offset jaw for sure.

no question the mb 550 offset 2 coil would be my choice. I have no use for any 4 coiled traps. X2
