Personally, I would not go back to a two cycle.

I went with the Toro Model 20031 Personal Pace Electric Start for $399 (Home
Depot). This included the bag.
I'd say it was a better deal than the Lawnboy for $379 (pull start, with a $50
optional bag kit).
I really wanted to give the business to the local "mom & pop" hardware, but
they had no Toros except for commercial models for two to three times as costly
as the home model I got.
