Just a little. 
I personally don't think any of the manufacturers have "all the bases" covered. I'm of the mindset "a tractor for every task" and don't think I'd end up with the same brand twice out of a half dozen or maybe more.
I'd also have each fully researched and tested before buying, I'd have each setup ideally for the task at hand, and I'd also have very valid reasons why it was better suited than the X Y and Z alternatives. It should also be mentioned that my reasons for my uses may not apply in the variables of another operator on another piece of land, they may very well only apply to me or my land.
