I tend to be partial to the Toro, though the HRX is a real nice mower as well. The Toro SR and Hondas have been debated here many times. You wouldn't go wrong with either. Both have advantages over the other. Toro decks are great quality, but the Nexite deck is real sweet an an easier clean. I think the Toro drives are more reliable and easier to repair should they need it- but that is from a tech's point of view. As a user, you may think one is more comfortable or easier to manage. A quick search will bring you enough results to make your head spin...
