Sounds like the problem is with your dealer, I know of two T-300's that had similar issues as well as a T-750, all the machines were fixed under warranty and were traded back in within a few months. The dealer felt bad about the machines being lemons so they gave good money on trade, put them into their rental fleet and sold them at auction at the end of the season. If your husband is a big fan of Bobcat its worth the distance to travel to get what he wants. I have two dealerships near me the closest one is 10 miles the other is 90 miles from me there is no territorial issues here, in fact the salesman at the closer dealership told me he likes it, it keeps both dealers honest and welcomes the competition.
If your local dealer is selling the same machine you have with more hours, call his bluff, advertise yours privatly for the same money as he is asking and see what happens.
As far as the difference between the two machines, Id still go with the Bobcat mainly because in my opinion Bobcat has a much nicer/comfortable cab, I'm a tall guy and like the leg room. I haven't been in the newest model Case but IIRC the last one I drove the door opened the opposite direction, which probably isn't a big deal but when you are used to the handle on one side of the door its a habit that's tough to get used to.
Just a side note I have a friend that owns two tracked Deere machines, they are good also but more $$ and the cabs aren't as comfy either. He told me if you could put a Bobcat cab on a Deere machine you would have one heck of a machine.
