I pondered the same question before purchasing my GTC52-2. I know there are plenty of KKII supporters out there, but I couldn't be happier with my Woods. The 52" also covers my tracks better than a 48". As previously stated, this tiller kicked out some mean rocks without hesitation. Very well made, as is other Woods products. I honestly don't think you could go wrong with either, but I would consider dealer support in making a decision. I paid $1895.00 for my tiller, so $1599.00 including set up from the dealer sounds pretty good.
