Honestly no one can decide this for you. Drive the units and buy the one you like. You can't go wrong with Toro. Toro makes a great machine and it does everything well. I've driven mine into frozen snow berms created by plows more than a month earlier and it chewed them out with no drama. Your EOD will get spat out with a vengeance, so no more shoveling anything with a Toro. Whatever you decide on be certain you are happy with it and post pics with whatever you end up with. Steve Hey, how about some new videos this winter? You should be getting some decent snow there. The Chicagoland area has been teased with overjealous news weatherman posting winter advisory and warning every week. After all said and done, we just get one or two inches of wimpy snow that's barely fun with a single stage snowblower. I got a 11 horse monster sitting on a dolly waiting for some serious snow action.
