Welcome back to the hobby! I can only advise on the DLE and they are very good and reliable engines at a good price and are available through several sources. Service and parts are also readily available which counts the most in my opinion. Lots of new engines coming on the market all the time but DLE has established themselves as a reputable brand. In China, todays shoe maker is tomorrows gas engine maker. What ever sells. THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR SERVICE!
