The 1000 was never offered in the 159. Only 151 and 162. If you want a 162 you would have to go with the 05 X, the 05 151 was a late released sled only available in standard.
The differences between the X and Standard are handlebars, braided brake line, lightwieght brake rotor, shocks, seat, and graphics (might be forgetting a few things)
I would not go newer, the only differences are skis, seat, cooling, and the secondary clutch. Which can be bought to make the sled to 06 specs for less than the cost of a whole new 06.
On the 05, you can take off the rear heat exchanger then the cooling system is pretty much the same as an 06, just shaped a little different.
Based on my experience from my old 05 1000 X 162, I would never buy one again, just my 2 cents.
