aldot, there are quite a lot of bits on the seized one that can become useful spares so you can be fairly sure you will always have a steep-slope mower that is either running already, or can be repaired in a flash. I don't like 2-strokes either, but I think they can have their place - which to me is doing small, awkward, possibly semi-destructive jobs that need a lightweight mower. By the time you put a grass-catcher on a 2-stroke, you've lost the plot.
