I looked at an older 318 that was pretty solid. I really don't need all the extras. Strictly lawn cutting here. Nothing more. Seems like there's a ton of the Home Depot/Lowes models around. Some of the dealer only type models are a bit harder to find. There's a decent LT166 the next town over from me that can be had for the right price. It's got the Air Cooled B&S V-Twin 16 hp. 
It's 8 years old and shows 184 hours according to the owner. Been serviced every year with all records.  
I think I'll have a look at it.
