I have not ridden a Mukluk, so am not sure how they ride. I have ridden the Farley and was pretty impressed with the 2014 model. At Trek, we will have a Farley 6 and a Farley 8 to demo all winter, but they won't be here until mid-September or mid-October. I do have a Trek Demo day in the works for October 19th at Sunder, time tbd, and I can verify that he will have some Farley's to demo if you'd like to try before you buy. Hope this helps :)
