Just wondered wich one of the two of these bikes everyone thought would be better, not really concerned with price. I ride everything, dunes, desert, and woods. Also is there any way to get rid of the vibration of the 500? Thanks for the input.

Gryphon,
I used to ride Kx 5oo's until I bought the Yz Thumper. Also have ridden the 380. Can not beat the all around power the 500 makes, I raced, and enduroed and just plain trail rode mine everywhere. (Yearly trips to Colorado
on the single tracks ) it never let me down, could get a little heavey in the slow steep stuff at times, but it still went there! The 380 on the other hand is a great bike, of course not as much on the bottom, (which makes it a little harder on the tight trails) but is a lot lighter (feeling), quicker steering, also a fun bike. If I was racing it, I would buy the 380, for plan fun, the 500, for best of both worlds the 426 
As far as the vibration, try pro tapers,
I actually had my crank balanced when I rebuilt it, but thats going to extremes. :D
