Thank you all for the insightful replies.
As much as I liked the extras of the 590, I've decided on the 570. I have less than 1/2 acre to mow and will only use the sleeve hitch occasionally. I prefer a walk behind snow blower, so the foot peddle will only be lifting the Deck. I do plan to be hauling heavy carts of gravel and dirt with some upcoming projects which has led me to the 500 series. For the price, you cant beat the K72, locking differential and tires on the x500 series (I just hate those little tires on newer small tractors!!).
The difference for me was $1800, which would put me into financing instead of buying outright. The foot lift gives me a great excuse to need a new tractor in 5-7 years.
