Congrats..... I went with the BX2200 W/ FEL for my needs. I questioned myself before I decided but I haven't regretted it since I have owned it... Sticker shock was my first concern but since I need to replace my Simplicity 7119 (which I still have) and I looked at the prices of the new Simplicity's, I felt that buying the Bota was certainly the best deal over the long run.
Another item that few think about is that I used about 3 gallons of gas with the Simplicity to mow my property and now I use around a gallon +/- of diesel for the same task... Definately makes a difference...... Thing mows great and don't need full throttle to mow... I'm happy, hope you will also. Good luck, Tom
