The E-Tec 115 369# is lighter than the Honda 115 498# and Honda 150 478# so that should make up for some of the horsepower. Any experience with a 115?

the etec 115 is strong but when comparing it to the 150 its hands down in power and torque. go with the 150 and you wont be disapointed. plus its only like 2500 difference, and you will probably burn less gas when cruising.
