EJE
Looking for comparison and pros or cons of both from anyone who has any good information. Thank you!
Answer
I am not familiar with these two models. If you want a good evaluation of lawn mowers Consumer .Reports Magazine publishes a comparison of top rated lawn mowers in its May issue every year. Go to a library and look at a copy or you can subscribe online. Generally for push lawnmowers Honda models and Toro models come out on top and John Deere is the leader for riding mowers Between models of the same brand it is a matter of what features you want.

Best brand and features for push lawn mower?
Alyse
What is the best brand and what are some of the features for a push lawn mower? We have a large yard mostly flat with a slight slant. Where did you buy it?
my husband says he wants the exercise so he can lose weight
Answer
It sounds like you probably want a push mower, though a self-propelled is much easier on the legs & back, especailly on hills with a large yard.
Some of the more recent improvements:
Squeeze lever control of self propelled wheel speed.
A one touch control of cutting deck. One lever instead of 4 moves deck.
Key (electric) Start
No choke starting.
Gas caps which automatically add fuel stabilizer to fuel to prevent clogging of carb.
Longer homeowner warranties. (2 years+)
With a large yard, I would get at least a 6.5 HP engine with a mulching blade. Large rear wheels are overrated, though they do make it easier to negotiate some turns.
The John Deere JS45 ($500) has the pivoting front wheels which makes the unit more manuverable around tight turns, a plus for a yard with alot of trees and beds. JD is also known for better cut quality and reliability. A smaller cut width (21" vs. 22") with a similar powered engine will yield a better quality cut. That would be my pick.

Consumer reports Apr. 08 issue has a great comparison of nearly every push/self-propelled lawn mower.
