Honda HS928WA

I am considering buying the Honda HS928WA (wheel drive) snowblower.  I read that it is hard to handle steer because the wheels are always locked. Has anyone any experience with this.  Also as I get into my 60's is it worth while to have the electiric starter or is the Honda so easy to start that it is a waste of money?  Thanks in advance.

I live in Western Mass and we do get a fair amount of snow.  I have had great service from two Honda mowers and several Honda cars.  I will spend the extra money if I can see the value.  I have never tried a Honda blower.  I have read in consumer reports that it is hard to steer because of the drive system.  I have looked at the Ariens but nobody has been able to explain to me the difference in the drive system between the deluxe and the pro.  The new deluxe model (1128le) has a lever to disengage the axle and the pro has the same lever for traction control?  The two local dealers can't explain the difference.  Is the pro worth another $800 in the same 28" size.  Could I ever wear out the deluxe?

I am looking to buy a 26" or28'"snowblower.  I am torn between the Honda HS928wa and the Ariens 28" Deluxe.  Also is the Ariens Pro model worth the difference?
