Honda vs Atco

Im looking at getting either a Honda IZY HRG466SKEP or a Atco Quattro 19SH both collect and mulch and have the same engine. Does anyone have experience of either of these or thoughts on either brand. I have dealers for both within similar distance so no real difference there. Thanks

Honda all the way, bomb proof engine.
It's a tough one to call. Both have the same(ish) engine, the Atco has a wider cut, bigger collection box and a mulching facility and the mowers are very different in design.
Firstly, Honda's are brilliant mowers and no matter what model you have, there will always be spare parts available and all repair centres will fix them.
The Atco may have a bigger collection box but if you HAVE to collect all the grass, it's at a much steeper angle than the Honda which can be an issue in, particularly in the wet. Then again, you could mulch instead. BUT... are spare parts easy to come across? If not, you could end up spending a fortune on obtaining parts.
Personally, I'd go with the Honda but it's up to you to weigh up the pro's & con's and decide what's best for your needs.
