Default Choosing a mower?

I'm after a new mower. £500-600 price range.
The choice is down to 3 or 4.
Rotary, 17 or 18", with drive and rear roller.
Honda seem to be the best seller, and used by contractors and gardeners
everywhere.
Hayter have a very similar model, at roughly the same price, and it
looks far better in its classy green all over paint.
Deere and Atco also do similar models at similar prices.

i am tending toward the Hayter, just because it looks nicer than the red
and black Honda, as well as being (partially) made in the UK.
Parts/spares availablilty doesnt seem to be a problem, as my dealer says
most things are available the next day if not kept in their stock.

Is there any preference for any of these makes, or are they much of a
muchness at this price?
Thanks
Alan.
