Deere L118 v Husqvarna 1542XP

I am going to buy one of these machines. $2000 buys either at my local dealer. I have tested both and they each have their little "seat of the pants" advantages to me. Deere does not have an electric PTO or rear anti-scalp wheels or nose roller. Deere has 7 more HP that Husqvarna. How important are those features and the 7hp? I mow 1 level acre with a 12 hp machine now. WHICH MACHINE WOULD YOU BUY?

Micheal, good testament to the Deere! The L120 is a nice machine. I hear people speak of the weak front deck hanger but I have never heard anyone say that theirs has broken? Your thoughts?
