Another factor is the briggs powebuilt doesn't have a throttle. I find a throttle important if you want to slow the engine down and quiet it down while bringing it back to the garage or talking with neighboors etc. w/o haveing to restart it. The Tecumseh OHV is the premium tecumseh engine (i think) while the powerbuilt is Briggs bottom line enging for snow throwers. It really doesn't matter much but I would keep the money and spend it one something else you want.

should also mention my last tecumseh lasted around 40 years.
