The gas-powered ones I have looked at have had considerably higher gpm flow rates and longer "throws." The disadvantages for me are the cost, another small engine to maintain, and maneuverability ( I use an electric one in the bed of my RTV 900 and appreciate not having to worry about getting into and out of tight spots with a trailer).
