Great thoughts! I come here, too for peoples thoughts on buying/selling issues.
You’ll find most people here are helpful. Reviews on line are helpful, but sometimes not applicable to our own unique situations. I operate both small and large equipment, so I find this place mostly on the helpful side.
As far as the extra features you brought up “flip a switch….” Those items are nice, but they will eventually break. So will a manual lever that does the same thing as the electric switch. Might just take a bit longer. Its a trade off. If you think you will grow in size (as I did), consider trade-in values on your purchase, too.
? Will it be a popular choice among a field of prospective buyers should I upgrade later?
Generally speaking I find more features equals better resale value. Most people like features and ease of operation.
