New Honda, or Toro, self propelled mower? HRR216VXA? 20333?

I'm looking at self propelled mowers $400 to $500 or so, for my 1/3 to 1/2 acre yard. The yard is kind of "rough"; different levels, hilly areas, some depressions or holes, ruts, etc. (I'm trying to fill those in). I want BBC; I don't want to have to restart the mower every time I have to remove some tree debris or go in for a drink of water. I'd also like elec. start, for my aging back, but it gets expensive to have both elec. start & BBC. I've had 2 Hondas, with pretty excellent results, but have decided to replace my 14 y.o. Honda rather than get it fixed.
My choices: Honda Model HRR216VXA Honda 21 In. Steel, Variable Speed Smart Drive with BBC 4 IN 1 Capable $499.
Model 20333 Toro BBC Personal Pace Walk Power Mower $399
Model 20334 Toro Personal Pace Electric Start Walk Power Mower NO BBC $399. I'd have to give up the BBC for elec. start.
I'm pretty much looking at what Home Depot has, & they have free shipping now for awhile. Any advice? TIA!

I really wonder how many people really leave their expansive OPE outside exposed to the elements including thieves. This winter has been a snowy one for MN so people who are leaving their snowblowers are finding them gone next morning. So exposing OPE to outside element is not likely. I really doubt rubinew would leave his Yamaha Dream Machine outside for a second unsupervised. Blowing snow is nice but mowing green grass and smelling it afterwards with a lager beer is even sweeter.
Just happened to see my name, and you are correct, no unsupervised visits 
While I live on a hill, in a fairly safe area, I still put all my equipment inside when not in use. Stealing aside, there are kids, who might want to play, the elements, etc. Even in my old house, I bought one of those cheap 10 by 10 aluminum sheds, just to park stuff in.
