Well said Reno!!
I would stick with one of the 'bigger' brands, companies that have been around. That IMHO eliminates the 'parts' issues.
My backround as an Ec was 99% commercial, and when I was involved in the brand choice..it was Kohler. I stressed a service contract/agreement with the local area Kohler 'factory guys', as I do not profess to be a mechanic, nor a gen wiz, except for the electrical end.
Remember...ya get what ya pay for!
