Honda HS928WAS vs. Toro 1028OXE vs Husqvarna 14527E

Ok lets here it what are the actual differances between these units? For the record I have the Toro 826OXE but I am looking for something with a larger engine so I am considering selling my Toro and buying something else and I limited it down to the Toro and Husqvarna but if im going to do this again it has to be the last time so I decided to through the Honda in there. I know how much better honda engines are but from my limited snow blower experience I dont think spending that kind of cash can be justified just for a better engine. Any suggestions? Or maybe I over looked some other models that I should be considering? BTW besides a larger engine I need power steering, something similiar (or better) then what I have now on my Toro. Even thought about looking at the Deere 1028E! Few hundred less then the Husqvarna and half the price of the Honda! But I dont know how it stacks up against the others. Thanks in advance!

Yup! I sure do! Its called shear laziness! I want a remote control snowblower that I can use from my heater living room while im watching football! lol Mine is easy to use but I want a larger engine like Steve has. I live onthe rite side of the street and the DSNY leaves mountains like no other. Then they salt, then plow, then salt then plow by the next morning its nearly solid ice. I know a snow blower is the not the rite tool for this but mu Toro actually chopped through this it was when we had 26"+ that it seemed to bog. So being the blower is nearly new I figure I can get the most out of it now with the least lose.
The Toro so far has been the easiest unit to steer and no drama with repairs either. I do not want to go out and muscle a 200+ lb. snowblower for fun. That said I am very happy I went with the 1028 over the 826. The extra HP seems to help with the EOD stuff.
"If you have more miles on your snow blower than your car, you live in New England." "If you can drive 75 mph through 2 feet of snow during a raging blizzard without flinching, you live in New England."
