Honda or Snapper?

I'm looking long and hard at the Honda HRX217K4HYA (Northern Tool's model # for it), and Snappper's commercial mower with the Honda engine. The mower's primary use will be residential, but I'm currently doing 4 other neighbor's yards which are not very big at all. I'm liking the Honda's "plastic" deck. Appears to be pretty much bullet proof unless anyone out there has had problems with it. I've liked Snappers all along, and am only considering the commercial version because of the Honda engine, and the mower itself has a lot less plastic on it. The Snapper has the GXV160, and the Honda mower has the GCV190 on it. Can anyone explain the differences or advantages between the engines (other than torque & horsepower)? I think the GCV is geared toward residential use, but have read a lot of good things about it. With that said, which one would you buy?
