In my opinion, honda is a good looking mower along with being able to get parts pretty easy compared to others and have a top resale ( I can't part with mine old or new) with regular maintenance they shouldn't give you any trouble. I have seen the husqvarna at the local honda shop which have a pretty descent briggs & stratton on it . Not a bad looking mower if you like orange. Hope you make a good logical decision and good luck as this will save you heaps of $s down the road.
