One guy from MSP area is selling his 15 year old HS621 (the guy from Wayzata MN who hates HomeDepot and GC engines) for $450. Another one is selling his one year old HS520 for $400 with one year remaining on the warranty. HS621 is a nice machine but is it really worth more than nearly new HS520? Replacement parts for HS520 is about 50% of the cost of HS621. What do I recommend for a friend? I think the HS621 from that guy is simply way too high (if it were as good as aa335 then it is a different story). HS520 seems like an economical option. What do you guys think?

Great tip, RedOctobyr! If mine rips, I'll head to Ralph's for some gasket material.
