Stihl blower - BR200 vs BR350

I've been offered a BR350 for very similar price to the BR200 by my local dealer. I was initially just going to get the handheld BG86 but my dodgy neck would probably appreciate backpack rather than handheld. The smaller BR200 would probably do me fine but any disadvantage of going larger? I appreciate they're a bit heavier but it's strapped to my back and not using it for a whole day (c.1 acre plot, lots of deciduous trees and leaves).

Get the bigger one if price is near enough the same. More air flow means less time to do whatever your doing. That will more than compensate for a little extra weight.

Dunno if u can get the electric start on that size?

 

I think I have a 450? and has electric start.

Bloody brilliant and heaps of power

 

More so if ur likely to meet folk for a blether when ur out blowing leafs about.

Can turn it off for a blether and turn it back on again without taking it off ur back.

If ur in the middle of no where mibbee doesnae matter
