BX1500 vs BX1830/2230

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( The 2230 had cruise control, I don't think the 1500 does and the 1830/2230 has a gas gage. Thats about it.)</font>

Thanks - I tho't I'd read about the lack of a fuel gage somewhere.

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( The 1830/2230 with the 3cyl motor is smoother IMHO than the 2cyl 1500.)</font>

One comment that the Lashley salesman made was that most customers buy the larger BX after hearing the 2 cyl engine run. One reason that they don't stock the 1500.

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( I would agree the size difference is negligible. )</font>

Thanks!

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( As far as the bagger is concerned, I can get mine off and on in 5 minutes now that I know how to do it. Check here Its not too difficult. )</font>

Great site - I've already been there!

</font><font color="blue" class="small">( Like I said on another thread, go with the 2230: You'll never wish you went with less hp, but you will wish for more. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif )</font>

Pretty sure that's where I'm heading...

Thanks again!

Not sure where your finance levels are but the 1500 difference between the 1530 and 2230 could go a long way to adding a FEL into the mix if you needed one.

True - or the bagger for that matter, but I'm leaning toward buying the 2230 and putting off the FEL and bagger for a few months.

Thanks!
