Go buy whatever you can afford. I was tired of working on my 89 Craftsman every time I had to use it, so one Father’s Day I said the heck with it and headed to Lowes. I bought an RZ2346 Husqvarna on their 90 day same as cash offer and never looked back. That has been 8 years ago, and I finally had to replace the deck this year. I would say that’s alright in my book considering I don’t baby my stuff and cut about 5 acres in sand land. It’s all in what you want and\or can afford.
